Congratulations, Aidan! 🐾🎓

Today, we celebrate and honor the incredible dedication and leadership of our district principals, Paul Gerycz, Cardinal Middle and High School Principal, and Bob Kujala, Jordak Elementary Principal. They are the heart and soul of our schools, guiding, inspiring, and shaping the future of our students every day.
Join us in celebrating our outstanding school principals today and every day! 🍎✨ #SchoolPrincipalsDay #ThankAPrincipal #EducationLeadership

A letter was sent home with students on Friday in regards to the students' change of schedule.
In summary, we are writing to inform you that we have asked the Board of Education to adjust the end of the year student calendar to move the last day of school for students from Wednesday, May 29, 2024 back to Friday, May 24, 2024. We will remove Wednesday, May 22 as a professional development day, and will conduct it as a normal in-person school day. The Board of Education approved this request at the April 24, 2024 Board of Education meeting.
Six AJ Jordak Elementary students have been selected to represent Cardinal at the 2024 Ohio Choral Directors Association (OCDA) Treble Honor Choir on Monday June 24, 2024. These six students will rehearse with other nominated singers from all over the state of Ohio at Capital University in Bexley, culminating in a final concert at the end of the day. This extraordinary opportunity will be led by guest conductor, Dr. Elizabeth Hainrihar, Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at Wittenberg University.
