I've gone to Mountain Ridge for all my four years of high school and it truly has been such an amazing experience. The teachers were amazing and I learned so much from them. I got to experience so many different clubs and sports while there. At the end of high school Mountain Ridge has made me so ready for college. I know how to put myself out there and joining clubs even if I'm uncomfortable. I've learned how to become a better student and how to use my resources. Mountain Ridge is truly such an amazing school.
