Welcome to 7th grade! I hope that everyone had a restful summer and that you are now ready to continue your journey as a middle school student!

I am Mr. Matthew Crater, and I am thrilled to begin my eighth year as an Assistant Principal at Haverford Middle School and my second year as a seventh grade administrator. My teaching career is rooted in Annapolis, Maryland, where I spent three years teaching 5th grade. After my departure from Maryland, I arrived at Haverford, and for two years the sixth-grade science classroom was my home. My wife Meghan, daughter Rosie, and I are residents of West Chester. We enjoy traveling and spending time at Long Beach Island, New Jersey.

You are now a FORD, and together, as the class of 2030, I challenge you to make your middle school years a time of academic and social growth. I am very fortunate to be a part of an incredible community of administrators, teachers, staff, and parents who are determined to make this a reality for you. Haverford Middle School is an exceptional place to learn and explore new opportunities. The teachers and support staff are passionate and strive to make the learning experience at the middle school exciting and engaging each day.

I am committed to Haverford and look forward to serving this community as the 7th-grade Assistant Principal.

Dr. Matthew Crater, Ed.D.
