At Ridgway School District we have a saying, "Aspire to Inspire." Whether a student is an incoming sixth grader or a graduating senior, we keep this saying close to heart. After all, RSS is the last step before a student becomes a citizen of the world. Here at RSS, one way we inspire the youth of the 21st Century is to engage students in a multitude of activities, both inside the classroom and outside the classroom. Through our Outdoor Experiential Learning Program our students experience a variety of instruction which include but are not limited to:
A senior rafting trip with Outward Bound
A junior backpacking trip
A sophomore cultural experience in Denver, Colorado
A freshmen summit camping trip
Freshmen ice-climbing expeditions
A 6th-8th grade biomes camping experience
6th-8th grade Winter Adventure Days (AT Skiing, Nordic Skiing, & Snowshoeing)
8th grade Rights of Passage at The Needles
Multiple service learning projects with the community of Ridgway
And many more...
Without a doubt, a student at RSS will leave our school inspired to make a difference!
