The Bronx High School for Writing and Communication Arts, opened in fall 2004, is a labor of love for Principal Steven Chernigoff, who holds a master's degree in creative writing in addition to his teaching credentials. Chernigoff, a former assistant principal for English at Morris High School who has worked in the public schools in the Bronx for more than 15 years, proposed the school because of his abiding interest in language and literacy, and the plan for the school calls for frequent writing in every subject area, not just in. . .
