Ms. Dickey’s Algebra 2 Honors students took review to the next level with a hands-on Unit Circle activity! Working collaboratively at the board, students applied their understanding of radians, degrees, coordinates, and trigonometric relationships while building the unit circle together piece by piece. This engaging review encouraged teamwork, discussion, and problem-solving as students strengthened the foundational skills needed for future success in math. Great job to these Panthers for staying actively engaged in their learning! #PanthersRISE

Another exciting achievement for our Digital Design students! We are proud to share that Ridgeview senior Vincent Kring earned an Honorable Mention at the District Digital Design I Competition for his creative project, “Sneaker Design.” Using Adobe Photoshop, students were challenged to master the “art of the collab” by digitally reconstructing a sneaker to represent a co-branded partnership while demonstrating advanced design techniques and technical precision. Vincent’s design combined the iconic Air Jordan 1 silhouette with inspirations from LEGO and Star Wars to create a visually impressive “Made in Denmark” masterpiece, complete with detailed texture mapping, vibrant color choices, and creative graphic elements. The level of patience, creativity, and technical skill showcased in this project is truly outstanding, especially considering he started with a generic sneaker design.

Congratulations, Vincent! #PanthersRISE

Hands-on learning came to life in Ms. Yancey’s Biology class as students participated in a frog dissection following a study of multiple body systems. This lab experience was the big payoff after weeks of learning, allowing students to explore firsthand how different systems work together in a living organism while applying their knowledge through observation, collaboration, and scientific inquiry. From identifying organs to making real-world connections to human anatomy, our Panthers were fully engaged in authentic science learning that deepened their understanding in a meaningful way. #PanthersRISE
