Congratulations to Cornell High School Computer Science teacher, Mrs. Susan Dunning for receiving a special recognition recently. Cornell High School, for the second time, received the AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award. This honor recognizes the outstanding work schools are doing to engage more female students in computer science. Mrs. Dunning has done an outstanding job the past few school years building and expanding on our computer science offerings for our secondary students. A great honor!

Cornell SD kicked-off the Mobile Chill Project with a special assembly with unexpected guests. Joe Klimchak, Pittsburgh Pirate in-game host, helped lead the assembly and the Pittsburgh Parrot, Pittsburgh Pierogies, and Pittsburgh Pirate All-Star pitcher David Bednar, all made a special appearance! Thank you to AHN and the Pittsburgh Pirates for such a wonderful event!
