Gary W. Abbamont, Ed.D.
Interim Principal (effective 7/1/26)

For many years, I have been privileged to serve the South Brunswick educational community, first as a middle school educator at Crossroads and then as principal of both Constable and Brooks Crossing elementary schools. In recent years, I have been called upon to serve as interim principals of Monmouth Junction, Indian Fields, and now, with Mrs. Maccarone’s retirement, Brooks Crossing.

Prior to my employment with the South Brunswick School District, I was a student in the district and a graduate of South Brunswick High School. I earned by Bachelor of Arts from Rutgers College, my Master of Arts from Columbia University, and my Doctoral degree from University of Pennsylvania. In my role as interim principal, I will continue the fine work that Principal Maccarone, Assistant Principal Katz, and the school’s faculty and staff have accomplished here at Brooks Crossing Elementary School and work to ensure that our students are benefitting from the top-notch educational program that South Brunswick so proudly offers. Once again, I am delighted to return to Brooks Crossing as interim principal and provide transitional leadership during the summer of 2026 as the district searches for its next school leader.
