📚 Classroom Spotlight: AP Chemistry in Action! 🧪✨
Students in AP Chemistry recently experienced column chromatography for the first time! After learning about this important laboratory technique in class last week, students put their knowledge into practice by using chromatography to separate the different colored dyes found in grape Kool-Aid.
This hands-on investigation gave students a chance to explore a widely used research method for separating mixtures while connecting classroom concepts to real-world scientific applications. Learning comes to life when students can see chemistry in action!

📚 Classroom Spotlight: Student Teachers Take the Lead in AP Literature! 📖✨
Today, students in Ms. Sullivan’s AP Literature class traded their desks for the front of the room as they stepped into the role of teacher. Working in teams, students created and delivered engaging presentations on the elements of prose, complete with warm-ups, guided notes, literary examples, and student handouts.
Their creativity, preparation, and collaboration made for an interactive and meaningful learning experience. One group even wrapped up their lesson with a sing-along! 🎵
It was a great day of student-led learning, critical thinking, and collaboration as students took ownership of their learning and shared their knowledge with their peers.

🐾 Happy Birthday to the One and Only Mr. Spiker! 🎉🎂🐾
Today we celebrate someone who is so much more than a principal. Mr. Spiker is truly the biggest supporter of The Ridge. From his daily walks through the halls, to conversations with students and staff, to community connections, to the long evenings and early mornings, nobody shows up more consistently for our school than he does.
His dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment help make NCHS the special place it is. Today, we had the opportunity to show up for him and celebrate all that he does for our Bulldog family.
Enjoy your day filled with balloons, great food, and the appreciation of a community that is grateful for everything you do.
Happy Birthday to the heart of The Ridge! 💙🐾
