Meet the Staff of CHE
2022 -2023 School Year
Hello CHE Families:
For those of you who do not know me, I am Sherry Maher (Principal) and this is my third year at CHE. I hope you are all enjoying your summer!
At CHE we emphasize the importance of having a positive learning and teaching environment. Having a positive school culture is essential for our students to succeed. When our school community creates a welcoming, emotionally supportive learning environment, everyone wins! Thank you for doing your part in making CHE awesome!
We aim for all of our students to have a sense of belonging, which will help them learn important social and emotional skills and achieve academic success. Each and every one of our staff will do their very best to strengthen positive relationships and make this year amazing!
At this time, I would like to introduce you to our 2022-23 CHE Staff.
Please note, all of our Cowan Connections will be posted to our website https://cowanheights.nlesd.ca/
Kindest Regards,
Sherry Maher
