A Message from Our Principal

Dear Parents and Students,

It is exciting and rewarding to serve as the principal of Ridgefield High School! It is a wonderful place to work, and I truly enjoy my partnerships with faculty, parents, and students.

As per the RHS Mission Statement, our educational community strives to cultivate a highly engaging and personalized learning environment that encourages individual growth, resilience, citizenship, and empathy. It is important to me that all students feel that our staff knows them well and that we continue to challenge them to grow both academically and socially. 

We provide a nurturing environment in which students feel safe to explore new learning and challenges while still knowing there are caring, supportive adults to join in celebrating their success and guiding them through difficult times. As partners in our endeavor, thank you for your support. I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Stacey Gross, Ed.D.
Principal
