Thanks to the hard work of our NJROTC 3rd Platoon and the dedication of Ms. Ryan, our Military Student Garden is once again a beautiful and meaningful space on campus. After being accidentally mowed down by the lawn service, Ms. Ryan stepped up to lead the restoration effort, working to re-envision the area and even securing generous plant donations and mulch to bring it back to life. Our cadets did an outstanding job replanting the space, and we couldn’t be prouder of their effort and teamwork. This garden is a quiet tribute to our military-connected students and families—a place of reflection, honor, and school pride. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible! 💙

A few weeks ago, our incredible Chorus Seniors took the stage for Senior Solo Night, an evening filled with music, emotion, and unforgettable moments. From heartfelt solos to powerful duets and dynamic group numbers, each performance showcased their talent, growth, passion, and love for music. It was a beautiful way for these seniors to shine before their families, friends, and biggest supporters. We are so proud of each of them and the harmony they've brought to Ridgeview. Their voices will be missed, but their music will echo on. #PanthersRISE

Our Carpentry students took on an ambitious project—designing and building five custom picnic tables for our school, and they delivered! Using durable Trex composite lumber for the table tops and seats, these future builders created high-quality, weather-resistant tables that will serve our campus for years to come. From measuring and cutting to painting and assembling, the students enjoyed every step of the process—and their pride shows in the final product. We're so proud of their craftsmanship, teamwork, and the positive impact they're making on our campus! #PanthersRISE

Our Forensic Science students wrapped up their Forensic Anthropology unit with a hands-on lab exploring the accuracy of the “Canons of Proportions.” These canons suggest that certain body measurements, when multiplied by specific factors, should match a person’s height. Using rulers and teamwork, students tested these mathematical relationships and discovered that while some formulas held up, others weren’t quite as reliable! This activity is a great way to combine math, biology, and critical thinking in a fun and interactive way. #PanthersRISE
