🎉 Join us in welcoming CCA's USLR Principal, Matt Offner! 🌟 Matt brings unique talents and fresh perspectives to the Upper School and we're thrilled to have him join our team. Read below to learn a little more about him and be sure to introduce yourself at our Open House and Ice Cream social next month!
Can you tell us a bit about your background and previous experience?
For the past 11 years, I served as the World Languages Department Chair at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School. I taught both language acquisition and literature, in addition to overseeing the curriculum and leading a team of faculty in the department, grades 1-12. I cherish the opportunities that learning another language has given me to know others and to be known by them.
What drew you to join CCA?
I love this question. I was, in fact, drawn to CCA rather than simply looking for an alternative school. There are so many reasons, and it’s difficult to order them in any way. In a nutshell, I know CCA to be a school that puts first things first: a love of God the Father who is the creator and sustainer of all things true, good, and beautiful; a profession of Christ the Son as our Lord and savior; and an awe in the mystery and power of the Holy Spirit. I believe that these things are the foundation of a true education. I am humbled that I am called to participate in that.
What are you most looking forward to this school year?
In my conversations with others about joining CCA, whether it be with faculty or parents whom I have met so far, the common thread that I hear is about how special the CCA community is. I love that. I am eager to know the students and their families, as well as to pour into a great team of faculty here at CCA. It is an honor for me to be here.
Favorite food:
Dark Chocolate. Like 80%+ dark :)
Favorite book:
The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway. My love of reading began when I read it for the first time 25 years ago.
Favorite Bible verse:
I don’t have a “favorite.” Recently, Romans 8 stands out.
What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?
I love to read, bake bread, run, and follow Premier League Soccer.
Share a fun or unique fact about yourself:
Apart from Chik-Fil-A (they’re in a league of their own), I haven’t had fast food in 20 years.
If you were to participate in the USLR Lip Sync Battle, which song would you sing?
Not because it would be particularly entertaining in a Lip Sync Battle, but I would say “Stand by Me.” I love that song.
If you were to participate in the GS Star Wars dress-down day, which character would you be?
An X-wing pilot. They’re heroic.
Is there anything you’d like to say to the community as you start your journey here?
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Nu 6:24-26)
Welcome, Matt! We're glad you're here.
