Principal's Message

At the heart of East Rutherford High School is a steadfast dedication to ensuring that every student feels seen, heard, and valued. When students have a strong sense of belonging, they are empowered to reach their fullest potential—academically, socially, and personally. My goal is to foster an environment where all Cavaliers can thrive, supported by strong relationships, high expectations, and unwavering encouragement.

As a proud alumnus, it is an incredible honor to return home and serve the school that shaped me. The traditions and history of East run deep, and I am committed to preserving its legacy while embracing new opportunities for growth and success. Through collaboration with our dedicated staff, supportive families, and the greater community, we will continue to build on the excellence that defines our school.

I invite you to stay engaged, share your voices, and be an active part of our Cavalier family. Together, we will create an enriching educational experience that inspires greatness in every student. Once a Cavalier, always a Cavalier—let’s make this an extraordinary year!

Julie Powell, Principal
