The best thing about Cardinal is the atmosphere that it is. The student body is very supportive of each other and everyone knows everyone. The teachers also generally seem to actual care about your education. However, I would like to see more variety or specialized classes offered, even AP classes.

My experience at Cardinal High School was great. Teachers at Cardinal are always willing to help you with assignments you have questions about and they always devoted their time to the students as well. I had a great experience at Cardinal!

Classes are smaller to keep track of students academic and personal needs. Student's are goal oriented and can begin college classes as...
