Dear Cardinal Families,
Our hearts are absolutely full today! This afternoon, our hallways were filled with cheers and pride as we welcomed back the High School Class of 2026 for our annual Grad Walk.
Seeing these amazing young adults walk our halls was a truly special, full-circle moment. Our current elementary students lined the hallways, high-fiving the grads and catching a glimpse of their own bright futures.
An event like this reminds us how special our community is. The success of these graduates is a testament to the dedication of our families, staff, and neighbors.
To the Class of 2026: Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal! We are so incredibly proud of you. Thank you for coming home to inspire the next generation!
Warmly,
Allison Hoak, Principal
Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal
