I started my studies at Ridgefield Memorial High School as a junior, on October 2, 2018. The school provided me with all the tools necessary to improve my academic, and sports abilities. I was able to fit in very quickly and surpass all the obstacles presented to me as a new student thanks to the help and support of the staff and my new friendships I created. This was nothing but a very positive and frutefull experience.

My years at RMHS were great. I was especially inspired by my language arts teacher. Mr. Mac gave me the tools I needed to succeed in both reading and writing. His approach was to get the students interested in the topics for which he had no control over, because it was a common core curriculum. He related outdated materials or stories to current day.
