Hello My name is Bader T. Risheg, I am a Special Education Social Studies Teacher here at North Bergen High School. I am currently in my 19th year teaching in the North Bergen School District  and am dual-certified from K-12 in Special Education and Social Studies. I have a BA from Rutgers University in Political Science and an MA from New Jersey City University in Special Education. I believe school and home communication and collaboration are critical for any student to have future success.
