Last week, Ridgeview High School was proudly represented at the FMEA Professional Learning Conference, one of the largest music education events in the nation. Congratulations to Lillian Michel, selected for the All-State Chorus, and Janaya Francis, selected for the All-State Band, an incredible achievement earned through a highly rigorous audition process recognizing Florida’s top student musicians.
We are so proud of Lillian and Janaya, and extend a huge thank you to their directors, Ms. Bice and Mr. Colón, for their exceptional instruction, dedication, and support. Panther Pride was on full display! 🐾🎶 #PanthersRISE

Activities like these help students build leadership, trust, and teamwork skills while having a great time together. We love seeing our Panthers learning beyond the classroom walls! #PanthersRISE



Congratulations to Kelvin Dixon, Ella Hernandez, Courson Moore (not pictured), Kara Reed, and Ashley Zamora on this outstanding achievement. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence have truly paid off, and we could not be prouder of them.
These students have already taken huge steps toward their futures, and we cannot wait to see all they continue to accomplish. Congratulations, Panthers! #PanthersRISE











Since the end of his freshman year, Connor Murphy has been the keeper of the Ridgeview Good Luck Coin, faithfully bringing it to every chorus concert and event. This week, Connor officially passed the coin to sophomore Ariess McCraw, who will carry the tradition forward over the next two years before passing it on himself one day. We love seeing traditions like this continue to connect generations of chorus students and remind us that being part of Ridgeview Chorus is about much more than music.

Ms. Colón, Health Academy Teacher
Ms. Sue, Military Family Life Counselor
Anthony Basile
Sophia Navarette
Declan Godby
