Cardinal CSD - Comet Dispatch

Farewell From Superintendent Joel Pedersen

Cardinal CSD superintendent, Joel Pedersen
It's been an honor serving the Cardinal Community School District over the last 13 years. We have accomplished so much together and seen so many students learn and grow. I am so proud of how our district has evolved, becoming a Top Work Place where our staff can flourish, investing more than $16 million in building improvements, and earning awards for our schools — all to ultimately provide a better learning environment for our students.

I will miss all of our Cardinal Comets: students, staff, family, and the community. I will take everything we've learned together onto my next venture.

- Joel Pedersen
