Hello Cardinal JS/HS Families,

It is my pleasure to introduce myself as the new Principal of Cardinal Jr/Sr High School. My name is Jim Henson, and I am thrilled to be joining the Huskie Team!

I come to Cardinal from Bloomfield High School, where I had the honor of serving as Principal for the past four years. Before entering administration, I spent 16 years teaching science at Jefferson Area—an experience that profoundly shaped my commitment to student learning and growth.

I am truly honored to support the academic and social-emotional needs of our students. When students walk through the doors of Cardinal Jr/Sr High, they are entering a school that values excellence, community, and opportunity. Our dedicated teachers challenge and inspire students with a rigorous curriculum, helping them grow both intellectually and personally.

Beyond the classroom, students have a wide variety of extracurricular opportunities—including athletics, clubs, and after-school programs—that enrich their educational experience and build both school spirit and individual confidence.

At Cardinal, we strive to cultivate lifelong learners who are equipped with the skills and mindset needed for success in college, careers, and beyond. Together—with the support of our families, staff, and community—we can make our school the best place for students to learn, grow, and pursue their dreams.

I look forward to partnering with all of you in the exciting year ahead.

Proud to be a Huskie,

Jim Henson, Cardinal Jr/Sr High School Principal

Dear Cardinal Families and Students,

Welcome back to a brand new school year! I hope your summer was filled with fun, rest, and time with family and friends. I am incredibly excited to open our doors and see the smiling faces of our students once again. The start of a new year always brings a fresh sense of energy and possibility, and I’m thrilled to begin another journey together.

At Cardinal Elementary, we believe in helping every student succeed—not just in the classroom, but also as kind, respectful, and responsible individuals. This year, we’ll continue to work hard toward our goals in both academics and personal growth. Our amazing staff is ready to support, challenge, and cheer on each child every step of the way.

Let’s make this year one of learning, friendship, and growth. I look forward to working together as a community to help every student thrive.

Proud to be a Huskie,

Bob Kujala, Cardinal Elementary School Principal
