We’re thrilled to celebrate senior Riley Chapman, who earned 1st Place in the Orange Park Art Guild Courtney Hunt Art Scholarship competition! Riley presented an impressive portfolio showcasing four years of creative growth and talent, and nailed the interview, too! This incredible accomplishment comes with a $1500 scholarship, and an Art Stipend is awarded to Mr. Nesi, her art teacher, in support of our Ridgeview Visual Arts program. Way to go, Riley! Your talent, dedication, and passion for the arts make Ridgeview proud! #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

Our Carpentry students rolled up their sleeves and brought their skills to the Culinary classroom this week! From sanding and refinishing prep tables to ensuring smooth, food-safe surfaces, these students took pride in helping their peers by giving the workspace a much-needed refresh. This hands-on collaboration perfectly exemplifies how Ridgeview Panthers support one another across classrooms, pathways, and passions! #PanthersRISE

This past week, our Class of 2025 took a memorable trip down memory lane with a Grad Walk Parade to Ridgeview Elementary! It was an incredible celebration filled with smiles, cheers, and lots of Panther Pride. The different grade levels lined the loop with handmade signs and gave our seniors sweet notes of congratulations and encouragement. Their thoughtful words and colorful posters made the day even more memorable! In a touching finale, Ridgeview Elementary’s 6th grade class, who will soon move on to junior high, joined our seniors for the last lap of the parade and were celebrated as well! While the entire senior class participated in the parade, our seniors who attended Ridgeview Elementary stayed a little longer to take a special photo with their former elementary teachers. This truly heartwarming moment brought everything full circle. #PanthersRISE

In Ms. Fortner’s Honors Anatomy class, students tested their blood typing knowledge with a simulated "crime scene" investigation. Using anti-sera A, B, and Rh, they checked for agglutination to determine the blood types of four suspects, the victim, and multiple samples found at the scene. By matching the blood evidence to a suspect, students solved the case while reinforcing their understanding of blood typing, antigen-antibody reactions, and real-world forensic science applications. It was a fun, hands-on way to connect classroom learning to real-world problem-solving! #PanthersRISE

Ms. Foley’s Biology students recently put their understanding of ecosystems and energy flow into action by creating their 3D energy pyramids. Through this hands-on project, students reinforced key vocabulary, practiced identifying producers, consumers, and decomposers, and explored how energy diminishes at each trophic level of a food chain. By building and labeling their models, students demonstrated creativity and strengthened their grasp of critical concepts like energy transfer and ecosystem dynamics. It was a great way to combine creativity with critical thinking in their learning! #PanthersRISE
