A longtime teacher at Herzliah High School has been arrested in connection with allegations involving the possession and accessing of child pornography, according to a communication sent to parents by the school. Michel Srougi, who has reportedly taught at Herzliah for approximately a dozen years, was identified by the school in a notice informing parents of the arrest.
“Based on the information provided to us by the authorities at this time, we were assured that the allegations do not involve any of our students or other members of staff,” the school wrote.
The arrest comes just over a year after another teacher with a history at Herzliah was charged in a separate child pornography investigation.
In September 2025, Joshua Campbell, a technology teacher at Hebrew Foundation Elementary School in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, was charged with distributing child pornography. Campbell had previously worked as a teacher at Herzliah High School years before his arrest.
Herzliah wrote that Srougi had been immediately relieved of his teaching responsibilities. The communication did not specify when the arrest took place, or whether formal criminal charges had been filed.
October 25, 2026: Correction: Mr. Srougi taught French to various grades at Herzliah High School. He served as a teacher there for 5 years. Herzliah terminated his employment when he was arrested.
