Sponsors Needed For Annual Mr. Cardinal City Ambassador Program

On April 9, more than a dozen young men will compete for the chance to represent San Bernardino High School (SBHS) as Mr. Cardinal City 2016–2017. The contestants, all SBHS juniors, will take to the Sturges Center for the Fine Arts stage at 6 p.m. to demonstrate their fortitude, school spirit, and charity work. “Mr. Cardinal represents the very best of San Bernardino High School,” Mr. Cardinal City founder and director Jamie Rios said. “Since the very beginning, every Mr. Cardinal has demonstrated excellence in academics, behavior, and community service.” Mr. Cardinal represents the high school at local events with co-royalty Miss Cardinal City. The pageants were named to honor San Bernardino High’s status as a chartered city, Cardinal City. Local businesses and community groups interested in supporting the event should contact Jamie Rios, bilingual school outreach worker, by phone at (909) 881-8217 or by email at jamie.rios@sbcusd.com.
