If you want to make a difference in the lives of students and be part of a team that takes pride in our Cardinals spirit, we want to hear from you!
Johannesburg K-8 Families,
I am writing to formally announce that I will be retiring at the end of this school year. It has been a true honor to serve this incredible Cardinal family. I am grateful for your trust, support, and partnership over the years. Together, we have made a lasting difference in the lives of our students, and I will always cherish that.
I am also pleased to share that Mr. Dan Serba will be filling the K-8 Principal role. I have full confidence in his leadership and know he will continue to support our students, staff, and families with care and dedication.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this special community. Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools will always hold a place in my heart.
With sincere appreciation,
Nancy Odren, K-8 Principal
