New Principal at Chabad Girls High School of Baltimore

Chabad Girls High School (CGHS) in Baltimore, Maryland, announced the hiring of Mrs. Miri Levin as its new principal. Mrs. Levin, a native of Israel, brings over 13 years of experience in teaching Judaic and Hebrew language to students.

In addition to teaching at the school, Mrs. Levin served as the Chair of the Hebrew Language Department at Beth Tfiloh Middle School and as a Hebrew Instructor at Towson University. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Bible and Judaic Studies from Beis Rivkah Seminary in Kfar Chabad Bet and Michlala Yerushalayim, and she is currently pursuing a Master’s in Jewish Education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

CGHS has been committed to nurturing confident, informed young women grounded in the timeless teachings of Torah and Chassidus. With a strong curriculum, small class sizes, and dedicated teachers, the school provides a supportive and personalized learning environment.

The words of the Rebbe resonate deeply with the school’s mission: “You must be ‘lights to shed light’ — brightly burning lights who must also kindle and illuminate others” (Likkutei Sichos Vol. 13, pg. 191). CGHS instills in students the value of leading with their unique strengths and talents, fostering a community where each girl is encouraged to grow and lead.

In addition to academic excellence, CGHS offers a variety of extracurricular activities to engage students beyond the classroom. Leah from Rome, Italy, shares her excitement about the after-school programs in the dorm, where students are well-supported by their dorm mother and dorm counselor. The program features trips, Shabbos visits with local shluchim, and cozy common areas for students to relax and bond.

Sara from Owings Mills, MD, highlights the special atmosphere CGHS’s exceptional teachers created. With engaging lessons and creative assignments, students are prepared for tests and encouraged to understand the material in a fun and engaging way. Each teacher supports students at their level, ensuring that every girl can learn, improve, and succeed at her own pace. 

Miriam from Little Rock, AR, emphasizes how the small school size fosters a tight-knit community where no one is overlooked. The school’s emphasis on individualized attention and exciting extracurriculars like Shabbatons and school trips makes CGHS a truly special place.

The school’s academic curriculum, designed to empower students both spiritually and academically, includes a challenging Limudei Kodesh program that builds independent study skills in Torah and Chassidus under the leadership of Mrs. Chana Pewzner, the Limudei Kodesh Curriculum Director. Mrs. Pewzner is dedicated to ensuring that students learn and develop the tools to study independently.

On the Limudei Chol side, Mrs. Caroline Friedman, the Curriculum Director for General Studies, leads a comprehensive program that prepares girls for success in the modern world. Offering a full Maryland high school curriculum, including math, science, history, English, and more, CGHS ensures that students graduate with a well-rounded education and a high school diploma, fully equipped for the next step in their lives.

Parents of CGHS students have expressed their gratitude for the warm and welcoming environment at the school. Mrs. Ciment, a parent, shared: “A school where teachers not only teach with passion but also deeply care for their students—that’s what we’ve found at CGHS. The engaging curriculum, warm facilities, and exciting extracurricular activities have made my daughter’s transition to high school seamless and joyful.”
