Dr. Chris Cordell—Assistant Principal
Greetings Pathfinder community! My name is Chris and my pronouns are he/him. I am honored and privileged to be a part of the school's next step in its journey of new beginnings as we reemerge from the pandemic. Schools are the heartbeat of communities and I have the best job in the world in building relationships and partnerships to support our students' academic and social-emotional growth. I believe authentically listening to kids is the closest thing to a superpower that we have. Powerful teaching is rooted in powerful listening. What we hear can spark action that allows us to make powerful moves toward equity and broadening access to learning for all children. I look forward to working together to build Pathfinder towards an actively anti-racist schoolhouse. Below is a picture of my high school math teacher days in Hawai'i organizing for better learning conditions for our keiki. Rest up, reenergize, and see you all see you soon!
