Message from the Principal

Welcome to Ridgeline Middle School, Home of the STORM!  Middle school is an exciting time in a student’s life.  It is a time of transition as they leave behind the first phase of their education—elementary school—and enter a fast-paced, sometimes hectic, adolescent period in their life known as middle school.

What makes a student’s experience at RMS special is that we have caring adults on our campus who take the time to assist our students as they navigate their way through their experiences.  Each and every day they are learning through their accomplishments and mistakes, being supported by family and the school environment.

As a community, RMS is a special place where students can focus on their academics and personal achievements.  Our STORM Covenant emphasizes that our students develop a set of priorities where they strive to be Successful, Trustworthy, Organized, Respectful, and Motivated.  By instituting our STORM Covenant, we are encouraging our students to do the right thing, treat people with respect, and develop life long learning skills of caring, common sense, cooperation, flexibility, friendship, integrity, and a sense of humor while they are engaged in their academics.  Our school data demonstrates that we continue to meet our expectations where students can focus on school appropriateness and take advantage of the many learning opportunities in a safe and welcoming environment.

I feel honored to be the first principal of Ridgeline Middle School!  As the planning principal for our new school, I knew that RMS was going to be a great place for students, all our staff members and our community.  Although the make-up of the school changes each year with new student and parent faces who are welcomed as they become a part of our family, the foundation that makes RMS a great school recognizing respect, community and quality educational practices remains.  Ridgeline Middle School is a place where our students can emerge a star!

I look forward to meeting and getting to know you, and your children, in the coming months.  If you would like to contact me, please email me at john_johnson@ycs.wednet.eduor you can call me at 458-1100, ext. 11118.

Great things happen when you wear Ridgeline Blue, Black and White!

John P. Johnson, Principal
