Sophomore to Attend Leadership Seminar

Sophomore Brendan W. will represent Cardinal High School at this year’s Hugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership seminar in June at Youngstown State University. HOBY’s flagship program, the State Leadership Seminar (LS), is designed to help high school sophomores recognize their leadership talents and apply them to become effective, ethical leaders in their home, school, workplace and community.

The seminar curriculum is based on the Social Change Model of Leadership and develops leadership from three perspectives: personal leadership, group leadership and leadership for society. Congratulations, Brendan.

CMS Dedicated Dozen

Each quarter Cardinal Middle School rewards a group of a dozen sixth-grade students with breakfast. The group of students is known as the “Dedicated Dozen.” Sixth-grade teachers use behavior, grades and PRIDE points to determine which students are the “best of the best” for the quarter.

A special emphasis was placed on effort during the third quarter and those Dedicated Dozen students received their breakfast reward at the end of March. Teachers said they had a hard time limiting the number to 12, so there are 15 in the newest group that includes: John A., Olivia B., Kathryn B., Chloe D., Lindsay H., Lorelei H., Anthony L., John Mark M., Micah M., Olivia O., Aaron R., Jordan R., Karalyn R., Lauren S. and Edward Y.
