Prior to joining Irvington on July 8, Corbett served as the founding principal of the East Harlem Scholars Academy II since 2013.

Superintendent of Schools Kristopher Harrison and high school Principal David Cohen said Irvington was fortunate to hire such a high caliber educator as Corbett.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Corbett to our school,” Cohen said. “His prior leadership positions and experiences will bring a new perspective to our instructional practices, support our efforts to enhance student life, as well as further strengthen our professional learning community.”

Corbett holds a Master of Science in school building leadership and a Master of Arts in social studies/adolescent education. He is expected to graduate in January from Northeastern University with a doctorate.

“My career has allowed me to gain extensive knowledge of school culture and behavior, instructional practices, scheduling, special education, as well as observation and evaluation,” Corbett said. “I look forward to collaborating in these areas with my new peers at Irvington High School. I’m excited to be part of such a great district and look forward to immersing myself in the numerous high school activities with staff and students.”
