Dr. Stephen Genco

I am from Ocean County growing up in Brick and attending Brick High School and West Virginia University where I wrestled on a scholarship.  I originally majored in engineering but later decided that I wanted to teach and coach. I was a Chemistry and Physics Teacher and coach for 13 years at both Brick High School and Wall High School.  I went back to school and completed two master’s degree in Secondary Education and Administration here at GCU.  I then completed my doctorate from Rowan University in Educational Leadership. I have been a High School Assistant Principal, High School Principal, Assistant Superintendent and for the last ten years of my career Superintendent of Schools in Jackson Township before retiring in June of 2020. This past year I was Interim Superintendent in the Toms River Regional School District. This is my 6^th year at GCU but my third year as an Associate Professor full time. I have coached high school football, wrestling, and softball and am an avid sports fan.   I currently reside in Point Pleasant Borough with my wife Susan who is also a superintendent of schools. For a while we were the only husband and wife superintendents in the state of NJ.
