Cardinal Nation

What is “Cardinal Nation”?

Cardinal Nation is a living, breathing community of staff, students, and parents. It is a place that strives to be a joyful, safe, and supportive community which promotes in-depth academic learning and enhances physical, emotional, and social well-being. In Cardinal Nation we promote each student’s personal excellence by establishing trusting relationships among students, staff, and families, and building community partnerships that support and embrace innovation and fostering a sense of pride in our school.


Students will review PPMS expectations, core values, and basic behavioral norms during the first week of school. This year, the theme Be the Good will underscore a key idea at PPMS… YOU are what makes Cardinal Nation great! What you do affects others, in multiple ways. How can you “be the good” for yourself and others at PPMS?
