Mr. Defenbaugh is a great teacher. His class is always so much fun. He teaches great. He's a really cool guy too. I love paying attention in his class because he's such a nice dude. Good job Mr. D.

Dustin is a true example of "WE ARE CARDINAL" from the basketball court, to the hallways and out and about in the community! He's always willing to lend a hand with a smile on his face. Thank you Dustin!

Thank you for loving my kids like your own...for caring for them in a way that teaches them to be good people! We are so lucky to have you...and every Cardinal student and family you interact with should feel the same way!
