A Return to The Ridge
Dear Catawba Ridge Families,
We hope you were able to enjoy some time with your families and get some much needed rest over the holiday break. We are VERY glad to be back at The Ridge this week. Please continue to communicate the importance of health and academics as we finish this semester.
EOC Exams continue next week. The schedule is in this newsletter.
The S1 Exam Schedule is included in this newsletter.
The January Guidance newsletter is attached.
The FMSD High School Program of Studies for 2021-22 is linked HERE.
Just when we believe that the year couldn’t get any more challenging, we are faced with unrest in our nation. I would encourage us all to be beacons of light in a dark time. We have not only an opportunity but an obligation to set the example for our students in how we respond during this time. I hope that we can use the virtues of faith, hope, love, and respect as we navigate these times. I know that the CRHS family will remain focused on our mission: to unleash the talent of each student to become college and career ready and reach the heights of their potential. Please help us encourage students to finish the semester strong.
Darren Wilson, Principal
