Jeff Rosen began teaching at Spotswood High School many years ago, and from the moment he walked through the doors of the school to the moment he leaves after the final day ends, it is apparent that Mr. Rosen has influenced his students as an educator and as a mentor. You can’t walk through these halls and not think of Mr. Rosen.  He is as much a part of the school as the bricks which hold it together. Almost everyone in the school does an impression of Mr. Rosen, and those that do not even understand the impact he has had on generations of SHS students. Even if a student has not had Mr. Rosen as a teacher, he/she knows of him, with his loud booming voice down the hallway, sometimes talking about the etymology of a word. Many agree, across all disciplines Mr. Rosen has a wide variety of knowledge from the roots of a word to how an expression came to be.  As an educator he is unmatched, and he is and will be remembered as a lifetime learner.
