Schechter Regional High School is a small, Coeducation al, Conservative Jew ish High School , located in Teaneck , New Jersey , United States . It was founded in 2003, as an outgrowth of two lower Schechter elementary and middle schools in existence for the past 20 years. The school is currently being led by Mr. Jay Dewey, and Mrs. Rhonda Rosenheck. It was announced alongside with Solomon Schechter High School Of New York in April 2006 that the new joint Metro Schechter Academy would be formed from the two schools and would be located in New Jersey starting in the fall of 2006. The school will have its first graduating class in the spring of 2007. It is currently exploring alternatives for re-location in order to find adequate space needed for anticipated larger incoming classes. Since its start in 2003, the school has grown from a pioneer student body of 25 to its present size of nearly 100 students. In late August 2007, the school board announced that a long-time major donor had backed out from a pledge because of "personal financial losses," and the school was closed down.Spence, Rebecca.
