Hello Cardinal Jr./Sr. High School Families,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!

My name is Jim Henson. I am so excited to begin my first year at Cardinal Jr/Sr High School! Our campus will house all 7th-12th-grade students in our district. My dad, Jim Henson, and my uncle Tom Henson taught at Cardinal Local Schools in the early 1970s.

In my free time, I enjoy hunting, fishing, and being with my family. I enjoy watching the students grow and reaching their goals at the end of the year.

Proud to be a Huskie,

Jim Henson

Principal, Cardinal Jr/Sr High School

Dear Cardinal Families and Students,

Welcome back to a brand new school year! I hope your summer was filled with fun, rest, and time with family and friends. I am incredibly excited to open our doors and see the smiling faces of our students once again. The start of a new year always brings a fresh sense of energy and possibility, and I’m thrilled to begin another journey together.

At Cardinal Elementary, we believe in helping every student succeed—not just in the classroom, but also as kind, respectful, and responsible individuals. This year, we’ll continue to work hard toward our goals in both academics and personal growth. Our amazing staff is ready to support, challenge, and cheer on each child every step of the way.

Let’s make this year one of learning, friendship, and growth. I look forward to working together as a community to help every student thrive.

Proud to be a Huskie,

Bob Kujala, Cardinal Elementary School Principal

Hello Cardinal Families!

It is my pleasure to introduce myself and give a brief introduction. My name is Brittney Owen, and I am so excited to serve Cardinal Elementary School as Assistant Principal for the 2025-2026 School Year! I am coming to you from the Solon City Schools where I have served in many capacities, both in Leadership and Classroom roles. 

I am looking forward to continuing the great work that we started in our new building last year! 

We have worked hard to continue a culture of Huskie Pride and develop an understanding and respect for families and students alike. WE have made amazing strides toward excellence, especially in the area of Literacy. I cannot wait to see what the Huskie Pups accomplish this school year! 

Thank you for the opportunity to learn and grow as a Huskie in this new chapter! I am optimistic for a great year! 

Proud to be a Huskie,
