Corpus Christi ISD has named Dr. Aurelio Tamayo principal of Roy Miller High School.
His appointment in this new role comes after Sandy Salinas-DeLeon announced her retirement after 34 years in education.
Tamayo is currently the principal of Blanche Moore Elementary School. He has also served as an assistant principal at Hamlin Middle School and served as an administrator for the district’s Student Support Services department. Additionally, he has experience as principal of Banquete High School.
Tamayo earned his Master of Science in Educational Administration from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership from Lamar University.
He will begin his new role as principal of Miller Metro High School in February. Michelle Perkins, who is currently assistant principal of Moore Elementary, will serve as interim principal.
“Dr. Tamayo exemplifies the strong leadership we continue to develop in CCISD,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “His leadership and commitment to student success makes him an outstanding choice to lead the Miller community.”
