Our construction project has had a great many folks who have been very generous within their own means to donate to our building project. Just recently, we received a remarkable donation from Curtis and Deborah Kesselring. A direct tie to Cardinal Country, Curt attended Washburn High School for his secondary education where he graduated from us in 1963.
Curt and Deborah Kesselring donated $100,000.00 to our project!! Simply amazing! We cannot thank the Kesselring family enough for their generosity and their investment within our school and the students who learn here!

Our school community is blessed by the generosity of the American Legion Post #12. These folks present our colors at events, provide flags for our classrooms, help kiddos periodically who have a negative lunch balance, the list goes on and one...it is truly amazing how their contributions positively impact us.
Just when you would think that their generosity was predictable--well, they went BIGGER! Our Legion sponsored an activities bus for us! It took months of searching to find one that would meet our budget, and we found a perfect match. Mann Signs did the bus wrap, and we pay homage to the Legion for making this possible on the back of the bus itself.
It's a GREAT day to be a Cardinal when you have American Legion Post #12 on your side! Thank you.


Cardinal Country lost a 1985 graduate, Tom Rothmann. Rothmann, a standout in his baseball skills among his many activities, was an important part of our school's history as is all of our students. Tom's family generously donated to our baseball team to purchase a high-end bat for the team. It's fitting that the bat is being displayed in this picture by Alex Retterath who finished his own high school career in baseball by being named on the Class B Baseball All State Team. Thank you, Rothmann family. We hope that the memories within the many games and fun experiences offer you comfort during this time.


Know this guy? Mike Kamrath is an excellent extension of the school even when he is not teaching. Mr. Kamrath was named the NDAAE Mentor of the year for 2024. Mr. Kamrath is often called upon by various schools around the state to mentor Ag teachers new to the profession whether they are straight out of college or transitioning into teaching from the ranch or the farm. Mike goes above and beyond just mentoring by sharing content, curriculum, and known truths of teaching.
With this honor, Mr. Kamrath will now be considered for the national accolade that parallels this state one in October at National Convention. Here is rooting for the committee to see that Mr. K is clearly the national choice! Congratulations Mr. Kamrath--we are thankful you are a Cardinal.
