From the Principal
Dear Cardinal Family,
The spring semester is rolling. We are only a few short weeks from closing our school year. Please continue to be engaged in the everyday educational process for your student(s). Also, stay informed about all the great things happening in our Cardinal Community by reading the Cardinal Chronicles. Don't forget, it is published bi-monthly. Please join us for our CTE Expo and Open House from 5:30-7pm on 3.8.23. WE WILL DRAW NAMES FOR GIFT CARDS AND T-SHIRTS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. YOU MUST STAY UNTIL 7:00PM TO CLAIM YOUR GIFT CARD. We are looking forward to meeting with our current students and parents as well as our incoming 9th grade families.
Every single day I'm proud to come to work and I'm proud to call myself a cardinal! As always, we are committed to creating an environment where students and teachers alike can: LEARN WITH PASSION, ACT WITH COURAGE, AND CHANGE THE WORLD! #EverUpwardCardinals
Your Partner In Education,
