Ridgecroft School is excited to have eleven dedicated seniors interning across various departments this spring, a testament to the school’s commitment to providing students with meaningful real-world experience while also supporting the daily operations of the school.
Billy Jenkins, the athletic director, has welcomed six senior interns to his team: Tyler Berryman, Dawson Collins, Lucas Cutchins, Ben Francis, Forrest Kea, and Ashtin Odom. These students will assist with various athletic programs and events and gain valuable hands-on experience in sports management and administration.
Barbara Outland, Director of Advancement, is thrilled to have two interns, Tyler Berryman and Dawson Collins, supporting the school's marketing, communications, and fundraising efforts as the school prepares for its annual auction, A Night for Blue and White, on March 22nd.
In the lower school, Gavin Britt, Jay Gaston, River Harrell, Frankie Jones, Lucas Cutchins, and Antron Gray work alongside teachers in various roles, from assembling materials and making copies to directly assisting students in their learning.
Several students have taken on dual internships, contributing in multiple capacities across the school. Ridgecroft is enthusiastic about the impact these senior interns will make this semester and looks forward to their continued growth and contributions to the Ridgecroft community.

Dear Ridgecroft Families & Friends,
Welcome to another new school year. Our summer work at school has been on-going and very
intense. Some teachers and staff members have new assignments, and several new faculty
members have been hired. We have a new cleaning service that, along with Mr. Lane, have
worked continuously to prepare the building. The teachers have been in their classrooms
preparing. The whole campus looks great, ready for opening day. The front office staff is
excited, we have missed the students and all the activity of school!
Ridgecroft School embraces the whole child every day. We are a safe and healthy school with
our staff being more aware of the social-emotional needs of students. The Ridgecroft Faculty is
changing. We welcome Mrs. Holley Mathias to Kindergarten, Mrs. Kristi Winn toThird Grade
and Elementary Music, Mrs. Kim Bailey to Middle School Science, and Mr. Mark Corbett to
High School Math. Our teachers have already begun their work in order to continue to deliver a
quality and rigorous curriculum and extracurricular activities to the students. We also welcome
our new Cafeteria Manager, Ms. Ginny Sawyer. She will be joined by Mrs. Sarah Chappel and
Mr. James Artis.
Be assured that all of us here at Ridgecroft believe that every student deserves a quality
education and that delivering this can only happen when the school, it’s families, and our
community work together for the best interests of those young people. Let us all look forward
to working together to ensure that Ridgecroft remains the premier independent school in our
area.
In closing, please know that my door is always open and I welcome the opportunity to discuss
any issue or concern you might have, or, just come by and visit!Best Wishes,
Russell Johnson
Head of School
