Trustees Appoint District Director of World Languages
Judy Goris-Moroff will join the Huntington School District’s faculty on July 1 as director of world languages, ENL and bilingual programs. Trustees voted unanimously to appoint the veteran educator, who will replace Carmen Kasper, who is retiring after many years in the post.
“We are fortunate to bring Judy on board based on her broad-ranging knowledge and experiences, particularly that gained during her time with the BOCES Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network,” Superintendent James W. Polansky said. “She has a great way with students and staff and is poised to make a positive difference in Huntington.”
Ms. Goris-Moroff obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in legal studies at St. John’s University and a Master of Science degree in childhood education at CUNY-Queens College. She is currently studying for a doctorate in school leadership at St. John’s University in Oakdale.
Prior to coming to Huntington, Ms. Goris-Moroff worked as a fifth grade bilingual classroom teacher and middle school Spanish teacher at Alejandrina Benitez de Gautier School (PS 377) in Brooklyn from August 2004 through June 2008; as a bilingual kindergarten and first grade teacher in Patchogue-Medford from September 2008 through June 2010; as a bilingual resource specialist for Eastern Suffolk BOCES in Holbrook from September 2010 through June 2014 and executive director of ESL, bilingual and languages other than English in the Hempstead School District since August 2014.
The assistant principal of the Western Suffolk BOCES regional summer school in 2010, Ms. Goris-Moroff was also a summer educational services consultant in Hempstead in 2011.
Ms. Goris-Moroff maintains membership in numerous professional organizations, including the New York State Association for Bilingual Education, National Association of Bilingual Education, Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, Long Island English Language Learner Leadership Team, SIFE Leadership Team and FLACS Consortium.
