Dear Ridgecroft Families & Friends,

It is with great excitement that I write this letter as the new Headmaster of Ridgecroft School. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a rich tradition of education and excellence. Even though I have only had limited interactions with students, parents and friends, I can already tell Ridgecroft is a special place that I am extremely excited to be part of.
