Happy National Principals Month!
This October, we celebrate the incredible principals of South Sioux City Community Schools!
Our principals are more than building leaders, they are mentors, motivators, and champions for every student and staff member who walks through our doors. Their dedication to academic excellence, student success, and building strong Cardinal communities is unmatched.
Thank you for your leadership, compassion, and vision. You set the tone for “One Team. One Goal. One Cardinal Family,” and we are proud to have you leading the way!
Please join us all month long in recognizing and thanking our SSC principals for the countless ways they inspire, guide, and support our students, staff, and families.

5th grade had a chance to work with Mrs. Hinds to learn about Earth’s systems today. They used VR to swim in the ocean, observe fresh water, follow the water cycle, and even visit Niagara Falls! Such a fun experience for all!

What a wonderful experience for our Harney 5th graders to present their hard work on an invention. We are so proud of the work and pride they showed sharing with family, friends, and teachers! 6th grade is going to love this bunch of kids!

Miss Coyle’s Engineering Crew reported for duty!!🫡They cooperatively worked to create a bridge that would hold the most pennies!! Well done Third Grade!
