Ridgewood High Prepares Students for a Successful School Year

From Pasco County Schools:

Ridgewood High School is holding AP Bootcamp for all Advanced Placement students on August 2, and 9th Grade Ram University on August 4, to prepare students for a successful school year.

The AP Bootcamp begins at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, August 2, and will use a team-building approach to critical academic skills to be successful in college level classes and life. Students will be divided into platoons led by RHS graduates and take on tasks focused on teamwork, communication, organization, critical thinking and problem solving. Students learn self-confidence and build a network of peers that will help them in the future. The past graduates also will share their college experiences, which will expose current students to additional opportunities and energize them for pursuing higher education.

Students attending 9th Grade Ram University orientation will begin their day at 9 a.m. with their teachers and senior peer mentors, who will share with them skills and strategies for success. Students will go on a scavenger hunt, learn about digital citizenship (each 9th grader will be given a computer device), community build, and get involved with clubs and sports. The day will culminate in a pep rally.

Ridgewood High School is located at 7650 Orchid Lake Road, New Port Richey. The Ram University freshman orientation is in the cafeteria and AP Bootcamp is in the gym. For more information, contact Alicia Leary at (727) 774-3901.
