Dear Cornell Families,

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year at Cornell High School. As I begin my new role as Principal, I am honored to continue serving the students, families, and staff of this incredible community.

Whether you are returning to Cornell or joining us for the first time, please know that you are an important part of our Cornell family. Our school has a long tradition of pride, resilience, and community support, and I am committed to building on those strengths as we work together to help every student succeed.

At Cornell High School, we believe that education extends beyond the classroom. High school is a time for students to explore their interests, challenge themselves academically, build meaningful relationships, and prepare for life after graduation. We encourage every student to take advantage of the various opportunities available through our academic programs, athletics, arts, clubs, and community partnerships.

I am proud to serve the students and families of the Coraopolis and Neville Island communities. The strong sense of connection and support throughout our district is what makes Cornell such a special place. By working together, we can continue to provide an environment where every student feels safe, valued, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to welcoming our students back to campus. Together, let's make the 2026-2027 school year one of growth, achievement, and unforgettable experiences.

Go Raiders!

Abby Longwell
