Joshua Cardinal (2)
“Josh is a clear thinker and razor-sharp writer in my AP Literature class. His attention to detail, facility for language, and ability to parse nuanced ideas consistently elevate class discussion. His writing, too, reveals depth of thought and a commitment to precision. He’s also pretty hilarious.” -Paul Primrose
“Joshua’s work ethic is unparalleled in our Spanish 3 class. He always strives to connect what we are learning to other subject areas or his own personal life. He is a role model for all, often helping tutor classmates or helping them out with the notes that he has taken. I enjoy having him in class because he asks questions that elicit deeper meanings, sometimes even provoking me to think more. We all learn and grow because of Josh and his high standards.” -Jaime Basham
