I am Dr. Cory O'Neal, and I am so overjoyed to be the Principal at Duran Junior High School. My wife, Yulanda, and I were born and raised in Pell City. We are proud to have two children, Lyric & Cory Jr. "C.J.". My favorite hobby is baking. I also enjoy spending time relaxing with my family. I earned my Doctorate degree from The University of Alabama in 2013, my Educational Specialist degree from Jacksonville State University in 2005, my Master's degree from Jacksonville State University in 1999, and my Bachelor's degree from Alabama A & M University in 1996. Favorite Thought: "Success happens after you have survived all of your mistakes..."
