Directing bands is my job; teaching is my profession.  My job as a teacher is to take students from what they are to what they can be.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

 
I am Mrs. Kimberly Carda and I grew up on a farm near Tolstoy, South Dakota.  I attended St. Anthony’s Catholic School in Hoven through sixth grade, and then attended Hoven Junior High and High School.  I had the privilege of having a wonderful band director, Mr. Michael Coyne, and it was his guidance and example that lead me to Northern State University, where I received my Bachelor of Music Education Degree.  I have instrumental and vocal majors, with emphasis in piano.
 
In the spring of 1997, I completed my student teaching experience at Roncalli, and that fall, I began teaching instrumental music at Roncalli.  I firmly believe it was the Lord’s will that I ended up where I began.  It has been a wonderful learning experience for me.  The Roncalli Family of teachers, staff, administration, school board, parents and students have been and continue to be an inspiration to me.  I have grown in my faith because of this second family.
 
I live outside of Aberdeen with my husband Joel, three daughters, McKayla, Erica and Leah, and our black lab Max.
