Principal's Message

Principal's Message

Dear Ridge Families,

It’s hard to believe the school year has come to a close! It has been a fantastic year filled with learning, growth, and connection—and I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support throughout it all. Your partnership plays a crucial role in our students' success, and we are truly grateful.

Today, we celebrated the end of the year with our students and staff, reflecting on all that we’ve accomplished together. These moments of joy and recognition are a testament to the strength of our school community.

I also want to take a moment to share some exciting news and transitions within our team. You may or may not have heard that Mr. Josh Morrow has accepted a new role as Principal at Columbia Elementary in the Kings School District. Josh and I began this journey together at Ridge five years ago, and it has been a privilege to watch him grow into an outstanding educational leader. While we will certainly miss him, we are incredibly proud and wish him nothing but success in his new position.

With that, I’m excited to announce that Mr. Ken Jones, our current special education teacher and athletic director, will be stepping into the role of Assistant Principal here at Ridge. Ken is no stranger to our community—he brings deep knowledge of our students and staff, a passion for education, and a heart for building strong relationships. He is more than ready for this next step, and I’m looking forward to working alongside him in this new capacity.

To our 8th grade students—we are so proud of you and all that you’ve accomplished during your time at Ridge. As you head to the freshman building, continue to represent Ridge in a positive way, lead by example, and take pride in the foundation you’ve built here. We believe in you and can’t wait to see all that you achieve next.

If you need anything over the summer, our office hours are listed below. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Wishing you all a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer!

Warm regards,

Stacey Cahill
Principal
Ridge Junior High School
