Mr. Matt English

Dear Ebinport students and families,

As your new Interim Principal, I am both honored and excited to join this remarkable community.  Since meeting with Dr. Kelsey, I have been working closely with staff and students as I get to know more about what makes Ebinport such a special place.  Everyone at Ebinport has been extremely welcoming, and I look forward to meeting our parent community soon as well. I will be sending out a date for a parent meet & greet here in the near future.  Until then, please feel free to stop in and say hello.  Together, we will continue the tradition of excellence and community that Ebinport is known for.

I joined the Rock Hill School District in 2022 from Sacramento, California where I served as a principal at a K-8 school for five years.  Prior to that I served as an elementary principal for four years and a vice principal for two years.   I was also a classroom teacher for nine years teaching 2nd through 6th grade.   I look forward to applying my experiences at Ebinport in supporting teaching and learning focused on meeting the needs of all learners and always asking what is best for Ebinport students. 

I believe that a strong partnership between school and home is essential for student success.  I encourage you to become actively involved in our school community, whether through volunteering, attending school events, or participating in our parent-teacher organization.  Your support and engagement are invaluable to us and play a crucial role in creating a positive and thriving learning environment. 

I am committed to maintaining open lines of communication and welcome any questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have.  My door is always open, and I am here to support you and your children throughout the year. 

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education.  Together, let’s make the 2024-25 school year an inspiring and successful journey for all our students at Ebinport Elementary School.   

Sincerely,


Mr. Matt English

Interim Principal
Ebinport Elementary
