RISE Scholar Spotlight - Excellence

Our Link Leaders recently hosted a Movie & Cocoa event for our freshmen during lunch in the library, creating a fun and welcoming space to relax, connect, and build relationships. Throughout the event, our Link Leaders served over 300 cups of hot chocolate while spending time getting to know our newest Panthers.
This event was a great example of student leadership in action, helping freshmen feel supported, included, and at home at Ridgeview. We are proud of our Link Leaders for their energy, kindness, and commitment to building a positive school community! #PanthersRISE

Ms. Sigona’s world history students dove into a powerful comparison of the American and French Revolutions. They began by using a Venn diagram to map out the causes, significant events, and outcomes of each revolution, while also identifying the key similarities between the two. From there, they tackled higher-level questions that pushed them beyond basic facts and into deeper analysis and reasoning. The activity helped students explore not just what happened, but why these revolutions unfolded differently and how both helped shape the modern world. #PanthersRISE




RISE Scholar Spotlight - Responsibility

Ms. Yancey’s Biology/World History students brought their learning to life through a hands-on mummification lab that connects both subjects. In Biology, students designed and documented their own mummification experiments, and in World History, they recently studied Ancient Egypt, where mummification was a key cultural practice. On Day 10 of the experiment, students collected data to see if the process was working, and it was! The hot dog “mummy” had already lost mass, length, and circumference, and was returned to its sarcophagus to continue drying for another week. #PanthersRISE



Mr. Ley’s students kicked off class with a meaningful bellringer focused on how they can "light up the world with kindness." Each student added their idea to a lightbulb, and together they created a hallway display that serves as a daily reminder of the power of positive actions. We love seeing character and creativity shine at Ridgeview! #PanthersRISE




Ms. Weaver’s students put their cooking skills to work during skill-building time, scrambling or frying their own eggs for breakfast. This hands-on activity helped students practice following directions, working safely in the kitchen, and gaining confidence in a real-life skill they can use every day. We love seeing our Panthers in action! #PanthersRISE

Last week, our Little Paws students had a great time at their Gingerbread House Party, and we loved having parents join in the fun! Students and families worked together to decorate gingerbread houses, laugh, and enjoy some quality time on campus.
Thank you to our Little Paws families for coming out and making this a fun and memorable event for our youngest Panthers! #PanthersRISE

Ms. Plyler’s Geometry students wrapped up their last lesson before starting review for their semester exam, and of course, had to celebrate with the trending student chant: SIX… SEVEN! Lesson 6.7 brought hands-on fun as students used manipulatives to explore how hinges create different angles and how those angles affect the side lengths of a triangle with two congruent sides. #PanthersRISE

Mr. Decubellis’s World History students have been hard at work creating their own governments while exploring how civilizations have structured power and authority. From defining the purpose of government and source of power to outlining citizens’ rights, economic systems, and responding to a crisis, students are applying real-world reasoning to historical concepts. This project also sets the stage for their upcoming Enlightenment Government Creation, where they will connect the ideas of Locke, Hobbes, and Montesquieu to the governments they design—an excellent example of critical thinking and authentic learning! #PanthersRISE






At the beginning of December, our Women’s Chorus had the special privilege of performing for the residents at Canterfield of Clay County. This cherished annual tradition brings joy to both our students and the residents, and it was once again a heartfelt and memorable experience for everyone involved. We are proud of our Panthers for sharing their talents and spreading joy through music. #PanthersRISE
Today, our Ridgeview High School NJROTC cadets proudly volunteered at Jacksonville National Cemetery in support of Wreaths Across America. Our cadets assisted with the unloading of wreaths and helped with the placement of remembrance wreaths, honoring our nation’s fallen heroes and ensuring each veteran was remembered by name. Through their service, our cadets demonstrated respect, leadership, and a deep commitment to honoring those who served our country. We are incredibly proud of their willingness to give their time and represent Ridgeview with dignity and patriotism at such a meaningful event. #PanthersRISE
