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!!

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.
