Thomas Keeling
The Right Choice For Our Students & Community

I am committed to making sure all children in Mendham Township receive a BEST-IN-CLASS education in that sets them up for success in high school and beyond.

Over my career working with Fortune 500 and middle market companies, I have developed specialized expertise in strategic finance, mergers & acquisitions, and growing businesses. With my finance expertise I can help our School Board with financial oversight, help with the budget process and help find creative solutions to educational challenges. Let’s get the most out of every tax dollar. 

Safeguarding the health and safety of our students, teachers, staff and community is paramount. Everything we do needs to be viewed through this lens.

I am committed to creating an education environment that is based on respect and inclusivity for all of our students. I am Co-Chair of the HSA Cultural Arts Committee and work closely with our schools’ principals and staff to develop and deliver programs that support these goals.  I am also a founding member of the Keeling-Puri Peace Plaza (keeling-puri-peaceplaza.com) whose mission is the promotion of tolerance, respect for others and inclusivity. For the past 20 years, I have been engaged with elementary and middle school students to celebrate the International Day of Peace and its messages around tolerance, respect for others and inclusivity.

One of school district’s 2021 goals is to engage with neighboring school districts to pursue shared services opportunities. I believe we need to remain committed to this priority and actively engage with neighboring school districts to explore every opportunity to share costs with neighboring school districts from book buying to food services. Let’s be effective partners.
