Hello Cardinal Elementary Families!

My name is Bob Kujala, and I am excited to be the Principal of Cardinal Elementary School. I have served in educational leadership since 2011 at local schools, Windham Exempted Village Schools and Southington Local Schools. My spouse, Rachel and I have three children (my daughters, Emily and Mara, attend YSU and my son, Matt is a Sophomore at Labrae High School.

Last year was my first in the district and it was awesome to get to really know the culture and traditions of the district and of course, get to know my students. I am so appreciative of the families and support they provided over the year for me at Jordak Elementary.

If one thing is constant in life, it is change. So without further adieu, this year, we are bringing together the students and staff from Jordak Elementary and part of Cardinal Middle School. This new beginning is really exciting because of the opportunities this new configuration will provide. Our teachers will be able to collaborate further up the grade levels. This will help with planning and implementing instruction and providing intervention as needed. The facilities provided much larger physical education opportunities and access to technology opportunities. I am sure there will be some adjusting pains that we will work through, but in the end Huskie Pride travels!

What will not change, is my commitment to providing the very best educational experience for the children of the Cardinal Community. I am looking forward to the 2024 school year and continuing to grow as the Principal of Cardinal Elementary School.

Proud to be a Huskie,

Bob Kujala, Cardinal Elementary School Principal
