Thanks to our continued sound fiscal management, Cardinal Local Schools has eliminated all K–12 student fees and Pay-to-Participate fees for grades 7–12 once again this year.
We want every student to feel encouraged and empowered to get involved and participate in as many activities as possible — whether it’s sports, music, clubs, or other extracurriculars. Your involvement helps build a stronger school community!
These opportunities are made possible through the District’s ongoing efforts in right-sizing and strong financial oversight. We’re proud to continue investing in our students and their success, both inside and outside the classroom.
Here’s to another great year of growth, connection, and Huskie pride! 🐾❤️🖤
