Cardinal Jr./Sr. High School
About our Jr/Sr High School
We are excited that the 2024-2025 school year marks a new era for the Cardinal Local School District. Part of that new era is that seventh and eighth grade students will be attending what used to be called Cardinal High School. This 7-12 campus is now called Cardinal JR/SR High School and has an average enrollment of 375 students. As we move forward, the teaching staff continues to study and implement strategies from Ohio's Plan to Raise Literacy Achievement. Our goal is that when a student graduates, he/she will either be going to college, entering a trade school, starting a career, or enlisting in the military. Students can pursue each of these paths at Cardinal JR/SR High School which will create a solid foundation for their future. Students have the opportunity to take college preparatory classes, fine arts classes, college credit plus courses from Lakeland Community College and Hiram College, and career technical courses that will all help provide a quality educational experience.

A Message From the Assistant Principal
Hello Cardinal Jr./Sr. High School Families, Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I would like to welcome you all to the new school year at Cardinal Local Schools. The staff is excited to work with each and every student to help them achieve all of their academic goals. We work extremely hard to support every student and to build and develop a culture and climate of excellence. I’m proud to say that the 2024-2025 school year will be my 16th year at Cardinal Local Schools. I have been at Cardinal from the beginning, completing my student teaching here, working as a building sub, head varsity coach and classroom teacher. I am excited to begin my second year as the 7-12 assistant principal and continue to serve the Cardinal community. Education is about people, and as Woody Hayes once said “You win with people!” We value communication, collaboration and the connections we make in our community. Please reach out to us at any time and GO HUSKIES! Proud to be a Huskie, Brian George, Jr/Sr High School Associate Principal
