We are so glad to have Nik Coble joining our team this year to teach high school social studies. This will be his first year of teaching, and we are so glad it’s with us! We asked Mr. Coble some questions so that you can get to know him a bit before the school year begins.

Why did you want to teach at Cardinal?
I'm excited to be a part of a school that is one of the best in the state!

What do you like about teaching social studies?
Learning from the past to influence the future.

What is your favorite part of teaching?
Helping students learn.

What is your ultimate goal as a teacher?
To create a classroom environment that welcomes all students who want to learn and better their futures with a positive education.

What do you hope students take away from your class this year?
That history is a fun and exciting subject, and we can make connections from the past to our current lives to see its relevance and importance. 

Fun Facts/Hobbies:
Went to Central College and played football.

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.
