Myron Cortez Cornish is the new principal at the William C. Lewis Dual Language School.
With 22 years of service in the Red Clay Consolidated School District, Cornish has served as assistant principal at Lewis for the last two years. Before that, he taught Spanish at Stanton and Skyline middle schools and John Dickinson High, was an acting assistant principal at Dickinson, and served as site coordinator for the Delaware Student Testing Program, middle school summer program for Red Clay.
Being bilingual, Myron is a perfect match as the administrator for the Lewis, Red Clay Superintendent Dr. Robert J. Andrzejewski said.
He comes to keep a great program strong: the school, with a predominantly Hispanic and low-income population, is perennially rated a superior school each year.
Lewis' dual language program is truly bilingual in that students learn their classes in both English and Spanish. Most of the other schools in Red Clay's English learners program teach students in Spanish while they are learning English.
Cornish was unavailable for an interview.
