Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
I am thrilled to introduce myself as the Principal of The Cherry Hill School. Joining this vibrant
educational community fills me with enthusiasm and a profound sense of responsibility. It is truly an
honor to lead such a potential-laden institution and to collaborate with our dedicated staff, engaged
parents and talented students.
My educational philosophy centers on fostering an exceptional instructional environment that
empowers each student to unlock their full potential. I believe that when students leave our school,
they will be prepared to joyfully seek out and overcome any academic, social, or moral challenge they
choose to undertake. By working together to hold ourselves and our children to the highest
expectations, we can create a powerful school that propels our students into the top colleges and
universities, and ultimately into careers where they can become community leaders.
In the upcoming weeks and months, I plan to meet with students, parents, and staff to listen and
learn about the rich traditions, challenges, and aspirations of our school community. Together, we
will celebrate achievements, address concerns, and explore innovative ways to enhance the overall
learning journey.
Open communication is vital to fostering a successful school environment, and I want you to know
that my door is always open. Please feel free to reach out to me via email at
matthew.macarah@thecherryhillschool.org or by calling the school office at 915-900-1800. I welcome
your thoughts, ideas, and questions, and I am excited to collaborate with you to create a positive and
thriving educational experience for our students.
Thank you for your warm welcome and ongoing support. I am eager to embark on this journey with
all of you and contribute to the continued success of TCHS.
Warm regards,
Matthew Macarah
Principal, The Cherry Hill School
