As the president/principal, Mr. Matthews is ultimately responsible for the direction of the school. Mr. Matthews is inspired by his own late father, himself a high school principal. There are few Hawks who have not been inspired by or mentored by Mr. Matthews.
In his free time, Mr. Matthews can be found fishing and watching the Mets. In addition to all his roles at Hudson Catholic, he has also found time to coach rugby and swimming, and moderates the newly formed e-sports teams.
