Wonderful. School is great, all staff (this includes the nice office and kitchen staff) that I have dealt with are warm and caring, everything is done to create a great atmosphere for learning. Kids are generally so proud to attend this school. From my experience, they value the diversity in all, kindness to all and respect to peers. Teamwork experiences both in and out of the classroom are really great at this lower level, I have to give them a lot of credit. Lets give a Hoot and give the Cedar Hill Salute! As an Oak Street grad from many (many)years ago, I was a little sad my kids were going to Cedar Hill, but I am now a very proud golden owl! All of the elementary schools are really exceptional in this town. And during COVID, I was very impressed by the surveys they did and how quickly they got things together to get the work done. It was proof the CHS team and the bernards township school system really has their act together to begin with.
