Classroom Spotlight: Welcome to Starbooks Café! ☕📖
Ms. Sullivan’s AP Literature students enjoyed a special visit to Starbooks Café, where Starbucks drinks, pastries, and great books came together for a unique learning experience. Students sampled a variety of novels, getting a "taste" of each one as they searched for the perfect selection for their Independent Novel Project.
This engaging activity encouraged students to explore new genres, discover interesting stories, and find a book that truly sparks their interest. After all, nothing pairs better with a good book than a little Starbucks! ☕✨📚

A huge thank you to Board Member Stefanie Johnson for joining us to welcome our Bulldogs as they arrived for the 2026–2027 school year! She captured some great photos of those first-day moments—and a few of our visitors… looking at you, Mr. Gestole! 👀😂
And the best part of her visit? She knows the rule: We wear pink on Wednesdays at the Ridge! 💗🐾

🦆 Our FINAL Ducking Out Adventure of the Summer! 🦆
Who better to send off our summer adventures than our own fearless leader, Mr. Spiker?!
Mr. Spiker, his wife, and friends traveled to California and Oregon for an EPIC week of hiking—logging an incredible 40 miles in just seven days! We're not sure his duck fully understood what he was signing up for! 😂🦆
After all those miles, they enjoyed breathtaking scenery and some delicious dinners as very well-earned rewards. We think that duck definitely earned its rest!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who played along with Ducking Out this summer. From beaches and ballparks to museums, mountains, and even across the pond, our ducks have had one quacktastic summer! 🦆🌎
And now…the countdown REALLY begins! ⏰📚
We can't wait to welcome our Bulldogs back! We are Bulldogs—Informed. Empowered. Invincible. 💙🐾

Ms. Holden's duck, Princesa the Mer-duck, ducked out on a belated honeymoon cruise to Bermuda! 🦆🏝️💙
Along the way, Princesa enjoyed delicious food, dazzling shows, made a new duck friend onboard, and even explored Bermuda—no passport required! She loved swimming in the crystal-clear waters and, of course, learning about the island's fascinating history.
We'd say this was one quack-worthy honeymoon adventure! Stay tuned for more NCHS Ducking Out fun. 🦆🌊
