You will do amazing and "you are going to love it!" :)
Jesus G. Velez, History Department
Dear Dr. Barbosa, You know that from the day you left PHS I missed your presence. I emailed you so when you were gone. When I found out you would be my administrator, I was happy to have you. You are supportive of my Golden Years Club and will always be golden to me. Now we part ways again, but know that I will always have respect and love for you as I know you will do well no matter...
Sergio Martinez, Science Department
Dr. Barbosa, I am sad that you won't be with us anymore. In my time in PASE, I have come to see you not only as an administrator, but also as a mentor, and someone I have looked up to when I was trying to figure out what the right thing to do was. I will cherish learning more about your granddaughter and your family, and I will always appreciate the kind words, concern, and advice that...

Dr. B, you have been our rock and salvation. Thank you for everything you have done for us. Thank you for your leadership.

Dr. Barbosa, You are the glue that has held this school together since it opened. You make us all feel like we are a team, and you genuinely make us feel appreciated. Your sense of humor has kept us afloat during the difficult times and made the good times even more fun.

Hopefully everything will be Great! and you will Love it!
Lisa Weston, Math Department
You ALWAYS know how to make us laugh. No matter how bad, you would always let us know "We are going to love it!". From early days at PHS to the first color run at PASE, you were there to cheer us on. (And feed us during faculty meetings). Your support was appreciated and never unnoticed. Maybe we wouldn't see you every day, but you and your heels will always be part of the hallways of PASE. You...

We'll miss you Dr B. Enjoy your next assignment. God bless on your next endeavors

Saying thank you doesn’t seem sufficient. Dr. Barbosa, you are the glue that holds everything together and keeps myself and many others sane. I appreciate all the effort, time and dedication you have put into PASE and the staff here. You were always the voice of reason, the person I could reach out to for direction, help and a good laugh. Thank you for your genuine care and support. You...
Danny Dugan, History Department
Dr. B, I do not know where to begin to express how much I appreciated you. As a new teacher in Passaic 4 years ago, you continuously reached out to support and help me. You're ability to lead, teach, and support us as in the classroom and through life is something I cherished so much. You were always the go-to person when things went sideways, and I am so thankful to have had that being...
Dr. Gin Sanchez, Science Department
