On Saturday, a few of our cadets traveled to Bishop Kenny High School to compete in the Brain Brawl and Drone Competition, and they brought their A-game. We’re proud to share that our team qualified for the Area 10 Championships in Brain Brawl!
Below are some highlights from the drone competition, where cadets showcased precision, teamwork, and problem-solving under pressure. Keep soaring, Panthers! #PanthersRISE

This past week, our Panthers visited Lake Asbury Junior High to connect with our rising 9th graders and share what life is like at Ridgeview High School. We highlighted the many opportunities available to students, including CTE pathways, Cambridge AICE and IB programs, and a wide range of athletic programs, while also answering thoughtful questions about the transition to high school.
The excitement and energy from these future Panthers was contagious, and we can’t wait to welcome them to campus soon!

Ms. Yancey’s World History students engaged in a structured close reading of an informational text comparing Athens and Sparta. Using a collaborative literacy routine, the class worked paragraph by paragraph, beginning with a whole-group read to establish shared understanding, followed by small-group rereading, discussion, and purposeful highlighting. As each group completed a section, students synthesized their thinking and shared key details and insights, reinforcing comprehension, academic discourse, and evidence-based reasoning. This intentional approach supported deeper analysis of historical texts while strengthening students’ collaborative and critical thinking skills. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Pollard’s Environmental Science students put their knowledge into action by exploring how energy moves through an ecosystem. Using their understanding of feeding relationships, students identified the sun as the ultimate energy source, classified organisms as producers or consumers, and constructed accurate food webs to demonstrate the flow of energy. This hands-on learning experience strengthened critical thinking and helped students make meaningful connections between concepts and real-world ecosystems. #PanthersRISE

Students in Mr. Nesi’s art class dived into a Line and Texture Inquiry Project, exploring how artists use line, texture, and intentional design choices to create meaning and visual impact. Through guided discussion, analysis, and hands-on creation, students examined artistic techniques, asked thoughtful questions, and applied their learning to their own original artworks. This process-centered approach encourages creativity, critical thinking, and creative voice while helping students understand how design elements work together to tell a visual story. #PanthersRISE
