Nathan Quinones
Nathan Quinones (October 12, 1930 – July 25, 2010; pronounced key-NYO-nas) was an American educator and administrator who served as the New York City School Chancellor from 1984 to 1987, where he led efforts to improve educational standards and cut the system's dropout rate.
==Early life==
Quinones was born on October 12, 1930, in East Harlem and attended the High School of Commerce.〔("Chancellor Nathan Quinones Central Files, 1984-1988, Series 1125" ), New York City Department of Records and Information Services. Accessed July 27, 2010.〕 He decided to attend college "by chance", as he had never received any formal college guidance and had applied to City College of New York solely because friends of his were applying there.〔 He graduated from City College in 1953 having majored in classical and romance languages while working six nights a week at a hospital.〔 He served in the United States Army in South Korea after graduating from college.〔 While in the Army, Quinones was given the responsibility of helping his fellow soldiers earn their GED, an experience that led him to pursue the field of education.〔 After completing his military service, he attended Columbia University, where he earned a master's degree in Hispanic literature in 1965 and a Master of Education degree in 1967 at Hunter College.〔Martin, Douglas. ("Nathan Quinones Dies at 79; Led New York City Schools" ), ''The New York Times'', July 27, 2010. Accessed July 27, 2010.〕
In 1955, he got a job with the New York City Department of Welfare as a caseworker, where he lasted 18 months. He was hired by the New York City Public Schools in 1957, where he was initially assigned to teach Spanish language at Thomas Jefferson High School.〔 Quinones worked his way up to head the foreign languages department at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School and was named principal of South Bronx High School in 1977.〔 Incoming School Chancellor Frank J. Macchiarola dismissed Samuel Polatnick as Executive Director of High Schools and named Quinones to the $43,000 a year position as Polatnick's replacement, naming him to the position without having advertised the post and bypassing principals with far more experience than Quinones had.〔Chambers, Marcia. ("New Chancellor Will Insist on Top Performance; Will Not Tolerate Excuse" ), ''The New York Times'', June 30, 1978. Accessed July 27, 2010.〕
