Cardinal CSD Special Education Teacher, Ms. Hendricks

posted September 13, 2022

Dana Hendricks is joining the Cardinal team to teach high school special education. We hope you'll welcome her if you see her on campus! We asked her some questions so you could get to know her a bit as the school year begins. 

Why did you want to teach at Cardinal?

I heard lots of innovative ideas and positive comments.

How long have you been teaching?
31 years

What do you like about teaching special education?

I like working with young people to accomplish goals and set new ones for their future career choices.

What is your favorite part of being a teacher?

The interaction with your people and seeing their growth.

What is your ultimate goal as a teacher?

I want to pass on to my students that being a lifelong learner is valuable and rewarding.

What do you hope students take away from your class this year?

I want them to learn life lessons of understanding others and the differences we bring to the table.

Fun Facts/Hobbies:

You will often see me walking my dog, Bear, while reading a book. I am a proud mother of two and grandmother of five. I am happiest being outdoors and love all sports. Go, Cardinals!

My real endorsement of Cardinal Schools and its faculty and staff can be seen each morning when I hand them the one irreplaceable and most valuable thing in my life: my kids. No letter I write could be a greater endorsement than that simple act. I give them my kids, and I do it with a huge smile on my face because I trust them to do what they are most outstanding at: building our future.
