My name is Mrs. Maher and I grew up in Columbia. I was a student at Holy Trinity School and received my first sacraments here. I attended Alvernia College and earned my Master’s in Educational Leadership from Immaculata University. I have taught in both public and Catholic schools. Catholic education holds a special place in my heart. It is a privilege to serve as principal of Our Lady of the Angels and to pass on our rich Catholic faith to the students of OLA.
Hi! My name is Cecile Carr and I am excited to be the OLA Preschool Teacher! I grew up in Columbia and attended Holy Trinity School as a young student. I then graduated from Lancaster Catholic High School and Immaculata University. I am a PA-certified teacher and love working with our youngest children!
My husband Pat and I now reside in Ephrata, PA, although my parents and most of my siblings still reside in Columbia. Our son, Daniel, is now a grown-up accountant.
In my spare time, I love to ride my bicycle on the Susquehanna River trail with my Dad and other family members. I also enjoy gardening, traveling (anywhere!), hiking, and reading. I also love Harry Potter and PBS. (There are not too many Masterpiece Mysteries that I haven’t seen!)
