My daughter Addi always talks about this guy. She loves his classes and his teaching style, and hates to see him go after this year. He is a great man and does great at his job. We love you, Mr. Phillips

Person to Thank
Michael Strasko

Strasko is a great person to work with. Seeing him in the halls or while he's watching his class or I'm watching mine always brightens my day. He works very hard juggling health and PE and I find that admirable.

Person to Thank
Mrs. Peters

Thank You Note

Mrs. Peters was my first teacher when I went to Cardinal. We jumped schools around until we got there. She was always kind and understanding with me. She made me believe in myself and the good in others. Mrs. Peters restored my confidence that other teachers in past schools brought down. She also helped show my parents how I improved throughout the year. I really am blessed with having her as the first teacher I had in Cardinal.

Person to Thank
Wayne Wixom

Thank You Note

Mr. Wixom has ignited a fire inside my son to be a history teacher. His humor and excitement about his subject quickly made Mr. Wixom an idol. You will be greatly missed as you go into retirement. Thank you for being such a great role model!

From our first interaction with the staff at Cardinal schools, we felt at home. The entire staff is amazing and we feel that we have a trusted partner in our children’s education. The greatest testament to their success is that our kids love going to school. There is nothing more welcoming as a parent than to have a school that you trust to take care of the most precious thing in your life. Cardinal School District does just that.
