Congratulations to Angela Dupont for being recognized with the OneClay Teacher Leadership Award! Her dedication to student success and her incredible ability to motivate and connect with learners played a key role in achieving outstanding ELA learning gains this year. We’re so proud of the impact she’s made and the continued growth of our ELA team!


Earlier this week, our amazing teachers and administrators spent two powerful days of learning at the OneClay Leadership Academy! This inspiring event brought together leaders from across the district to explore impactful strategies, foster collaboration, and reflect on how we can enhance student success. We’re proud of our Ridgeview team for their commitment to growing as leaders and bringing that energy back to our school—and we were excited to have a few of our summer Edu-Gators join us for the experience, too! 💙🐾🐊

In May, Ms. McDade’s Theater 3 Honors students brought famous artists to life at the Clay County Art Show with their impressive Living Artist Exhibit. Each student researched an iconic artist and crafted monologues highlighting their era, style, country, major works, philosophy, and impact. Performing in full costume, they transformed a hallway into an interactive gallery where history and theater collided. Their performances captivated the crowd, and we couldn’t be prouder of their creativity and passion! #PanthersRISE

Students in Ms. Derousie’s Pre-IB and Pre-AICE Biology classes explored anatomy through a hands-on fetal pig dissection lab this week! This engaging experience allowed students to apply their understanding of human body systems by examining the structure and function of organs in a real-world context. Throughout the lab, students identified major organs, traced the path of the digestive and circulatory systems, and made connections between structure and function, strengthening both their observational skills and scientific reasoning. Activities like these deepen content knowledge and spark curiosity about careers in health, science, and medicine. #PanthersRISE

Tying Together Creativity!
Students in Ms. Rich’s art class recently explored the art of macramé, learning a variety of knotting techniques to create their stunning textile pieces. Using remnant cords, they even crafted custom tassels to complete their projects. Beautiful work by these talented artists! #PanthersRISE


This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.
From all of us at Ridgeview High School, we express our deepest gratitude to our fallen heroes and their families. Today, we remember. ❤️🤍💙


Culinary 3 and 4 students spiced things up with a mouthwatering chicken wing cook-off, showcasing a variety of creative homemade flavors. From sweet and spicy habanero mango paired with house-made ranch to perfectly crisped teriyaki wings, each entry brought bold flavor and culinary skill. With so many delicious options, choosing a winner was no easy task! #PanthersRISE
