Principal Susan Pfefferlen brings over 20 years of educational leadership and a passion for student success, driving excellence and innovation throughout our school.


Welcome to Charter School of Morgan Hill. We are a public K- 8 school. Strong involvement and dedication from our staff, parents and community enable us to provide a rich foundation for our students to thrive. This environment allows us to grow well rounded lifelong learners who are prepared to be innovative participants in the community. Our project based learning philosophy gives students opportunities to develop skills that are applicable in the real world. When students are invested participants in their education, they are more engaged. This method of engagement has earned CSMH the designation as a California Distinguished School. Test scores show that our students are meeting and exceeding standards and although we are proud of their academic achievements, we take just as much pride in our students as individuals and the community that we have at CSMH; a community where each and every individual is known and valued for the unique set of attributes they bring to school with them each day.

Warm regards,
Susan Pfefferlen
