These students were selected to participate in this project and did a fantastic job bringing new life and color to our campus.

We’re so proud of our incredible Panthers, who are representing Ridgeview High at the State Science Fair this week! Your curiosity, hard work, and innovation have already made us proud.
Please join us in wishing them the best as they showcase their research and represent our school statewide. #PanthersRISE 🐾💙








Before Spring Break, our juniors and seniors had the opportunity to hear a powerful, life-changing message from speaker Kevin Brooks. His impactful presentation focused on the dangers of risky driving behaviors and the importance of making safe choices behind the wheel. The event, funded by FDOT, was part of a statewide effort to reduce teen traffic crashes—the leading cause of preventable injuries and fatalities among teens.
Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your story and inspiring our students to drive smart and stay safe. #PanthersRISE








We are so proud to showcase the incredible talent coming out of Mr. Nesi’s art classes here at Ridgeview High School! Students recently completed a mask-making project inspired by their research into animal symbolism across cultures. They brought their creative visions to life using materials like plaster gauze, cardboard, and paint, crafting everything from bold parrots to mythical creatures. The process was hands-on, detailed, and full of learning, and the final masks are nothing short of spectacular. Each piece reflects the individuality, imagination, and dedication of its creator.
Huge shoutout to Mr. Nesi for guiding our Panthers through such a meaningful and inspiring artistic journey! #PanthersRISE











On March 13th, in honor of World Kidney Day, Ridgeview High’s National Honor Society students raised awareness about kidney disease by educating their peers on various kidney conditions and the importance of maintaining kidney health. As part of their project, they also distributed awareness bracelets to help spark meaningful conversations and promote understanding within the school community.
Way to go, NHS Panthers, for leading with purpose and making a positive impact! #PanthersRISE



Sweet Science, Part 2: Students Take the Lead!
After practicing with pre-selected traits in their first candy cladogram, Biology students leveled up! In the next round, they chose their characteristics to sort and classify the candies into unique “taxa.” This student-led twist challenged their critical thinking and deepened their understanding of evolutionary relationships—plus, it was pretty sweet! #PanthersRISE

Forensic Science students put their investigative skills to the test during the Algor Mortis Lab! Using hot dogs as stand-ins for deceased bodies; they measured how body temperature drops over time. After testing a “bare” hot dog, students repeated the experiment with “Mr. Frankie” wrapped in felt to simulate a clothed body. They recorded, graphed, and compared the data, learning how much clothing can impact heat loss. #PanthersRISE







Ms. Yancey’s students recently wrapped up their unit on Ancient Greece, Alexander the Great, and the Roman Republic. Since these civilizations were known for their conquests, students channeled their inner warriors by creating helmets and shields! A paper-wad battle may be on the horizon, but for now—here’s a sneak peek of a few students geared up and ready for action. #PanthersRISE


Before the break, Ms. Foley's biology students dove into evolutionary relationships by sharing their cladogram answers during a pre-lab discussion. The next day, they put their knowledge to the test with a sweet twist—creating candy cladograms! #PanthersRISE
