District welcomes three new principals and cites students The Sun
Superintendent Dr. Kwame Morton appointed three new principals at the Cherry Hill board of education meeting on May 28. Starting July 1, Alison McCartney – Rosa Middle School’s assistant principal – will become principal at Woodcrest Elementary School. Christina Collazo-Franco will be Carusi’s new principal beginning July 29, and Daniel Finkle will be in charge at Cherry Hill East. Morton spoke highly of all three and introduced their backgrounds. McCartney has been involved with the district as supervisor of curriculum and instruction for several years and “knows the district inside and out, as a parent, community member and as an employee for a very long time,” Morton said. Collazo-Franco comes from Buena Regional High School, where she served as principal. She has served as principal of Pennsville Middle School and assistant principal at High-
land Regional High School, and is a former English teacher. Finkle has served as principal of Delran High School for the past 12 years and was also a principal in the Denville Township School District, as well as an assistant principal in the Livingston public schools. He also has taught mathematics in both public and private schools. “I spent 30 years in this business and cannot imagine having the opportunity to come to East,” Finkle said, “and I’m excited to start and become a part of the family and ultimately see what we can do together with all the students, all the parents, all the staff, and continue to embrace the traditions of East and make it the best possible experience for our kids.” Student board of education representatives Matthew Rentezelas and Gia Gupta from Cherry Hill East and Collin Duckett and LaTasha Bailey from West were honored at the meeting. please see DISTRICT, page 5
