November 11, 2026, Board Highlights
Ridgemont,
It is a busy and exciting time at Ridgemont! Our students are working hard in the classroom to wrap up the second nine weeks before holiday break.
Our FFA hasn’t missed a beat since returning from the National Convention—congratulations to our members on all their success at the national level! Company R put on a sensational performance last weekend, and we want to extend a special thank you to the National Honor Society (NHS) for their touching Veterans Day appreciation project.
Winter Sports & Athletics Note - Good luck to our winter sports teams as they begin scrimmage play! Please note that, unfortunately, Ridgemont will not field a Girls Basketball program (Grades 7–12) this season. We are actively working on building these programs back up for our student-athletes in the future.
