Diana C. Lobosco spent 37 years working at the Passaic County Technical Vocational School District (PCTVSD), serving as its Superintendent from 1995-2020. Through her far-reaching vision and dedicated leadership, PCTVS was transformed into New Jersey’s largest school of its kind, meeting the academic, career and technical demands of over 4,000 Passaic County students each year. As a staunch advocate of Career and Technical Education (CTE), under Lobosco’s leadership traditional CTE offerings expanded, while new offerings like the School of Performing Arts, the Academy of Finance, and the School of Engineering Technology were added. Increased academic rigor, cutting-edge technology, and expanded athletic and extracurricular activities were hallmarks of her tenure as Superintendent. Her most notable achievement, however, was the creation of the STEM Academy. With its unveiling in 2018, the 110,000-square-foot facility was appropriately dedicated in her honor, given her vision and tenacity from its early development as a seminal idea until its fruition as a world class instructional model. Recognizing the emergence and 21st-century demand for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, she led the charge to expand opportunities for all Passaic County students to become critical thinkers and community leaders in these new, emerging vocational areas. With its unique interdisciplinary approach and program-based learning model, the STEM Academy is helping to create the next generation of knowledgeable, productive, and socially-conscious global leaders.
From 2008-2020, through an interlocal agreement between PCTVS and the NRESC, Diana C. Lobosco also served as the NRESC's Superintendent.  Lobosco took over as the Superintendent of the NRESC during a chaotic time for the Commission; however, upon her retirement in 2020, she helped set the stage for the NRESC to return to autonomous governance in 2021.

Jeffrey Agnello knew that he had a passion for hair ever since he was a child. Beginning at a young age, he always paid extra attention to the look of his hair, and never left the house without styling it first. Upon finishing high school, he attended cosmetology school and finished as quickly as possible, because he was so driven to begin his career as a barber. After passing the state board examination on the first try, Jeffrey got his license in cosmetology and was ready to go! He continued working for a barber shop in the area until he decided to open his own barber shop (City Image Barber Shop) in Little Falls, NJ in November 2009. In October of 2013. after seeing success in Passaic County, Jeff decided to open up the second City Image Barber Shop location in the town of Oradell, NJ. He knew that he could bring the City Image styled hair cuts to the Bergen County suburb, and that is what he did! Jeff did not stop there though, in July 2016, City Image Barber Shop opened its third location in Sussex County, in the town of Newton, NJ. Since then, City Image has expanded to 9 Locations in in 5 Counties in NEW JERSEY.
