• I am very excited to begin my ninth year at McCormick High School and my seventh year as principal. I am extremely proud to be the principal of this excellent institution. It is my passion to see the students at McCormick High School obtain World Class Knowledge, World Class Skills as well as Positive Life and Career Characteristics. We have some of the best behaved students I have ever met. We have excellent support from parents, guardians, community and all stakeholders. We also have the hardest working school staff including, administration, teachers, teacher support, cafeteria and custodial workers. 

    If I could ask one thing from the community, it would be that you let people know that we are an excellent school and we are working to become even better.
     
     Thank you,
     Mr. J. Steven English, Principal
     McCormick High School
