🎉🐾 You already know how amazing Andrew Buffenmyer is! 🐾🎉
You already know him as the 2025–2026 Caroline County Teacher of the Year, but did you know he has also been named the Maryland History Day Statewide High School Teacher of the Year?
Kudos—or, as he would say, “Hoozah!”—to our Buffy for representing the Ridge with such pride and earning this well-deserved recognition. His passion for teaching, commitment to students, and dedication to history education continue to make a lasting impact both in our school and across the state.

🌊🐾 Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🐾🌊
Students from Mr. Buffenmyer’s National History Day Club and AP U.S. History class recently traveled to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Arthur Sherwood Environmental Education Center in Annapolis for a hands-on learning experience.
While aboard the research vessel Marguerite, students conducted environmental surveys, tested water turbidity and salinity, explored aquatic life by pulling nets, and discussed the impact humans have on the environment.
With sunny skies and a day full of discovery, our Bulldogs had a great time learning about the Chesapeake Bay and the importance of environmental stewardship. 🌞🚤🌎
