Alan Schwarte joins us this year to teach at VISIONS Alternative School. Mr. Schwarte has been teaching for thirty-two years, and we are so excited to have him on our team! We asked him some questions so you could get to know him a bit before the school year begins. 

Why did you want to teach at Cardinal?
Cardinal is a very welcoming and progressive district offering many benefits to both their students and staff!!

What do you like about teaching alternative school?
We get to help in creating unique and innovative plans for students to be successful!

What is your favorite part of teaching?
Helping students and families find ways to be successful through ways they may have never thought previously possible.

What is your ultimate goal as a teacher?
Continuous growth and improvement for our students and myself as a professional.

What do you hope students take away from your class this year?
That they can count on me to be there every day to help them find ways to be successful!

Fun Facts/Hobbies:
I am a HUGE Notre Dame fan!! GO IRISH!!

From our first interaction with the staff at Cardinal schools, we felt at home. The entire staff is amazing and we feel that we have a trusted partner in our children’s education. The greatest testament to their success is that our kids love going to school. There is nothing more welcoming as a parent than to have a school that you trust to take care of the most precious thing in your life. Cardinal School District does just that.
