Welcome to Ridge View Academy

Giving back to the community has been a staple of the Rams at Ridgeview Academy since their inception. So when the folks from Ignite the Light approached the Rams about volunteering for an event in the Park Hill community they couldn’t refuse. Ignite the Light is a group of volunteers that host events that bring together a variety of performing artists such as acrobats, artists, and musicians in an attempt to build unity and togetherness amongst the communities in which they perform.

The Ram Club sent eleven of their best to help clean up a warehouse in Park Hill in preparation for the event. In addition, Mr. Peacock the performing arts instructor at Ridgeview Academy had many of his students prepare art pieces that were featured in a silent auction at the event that raised almost $300 for the Passageway Scholarship fund. “It felt good to get out and give back to a community that is struggling, and provide an event that young people can come too where the atmosphere is positive and encouraging” said a Ram in attendance.

Almost 400 people attended the event to listen to live music, bid on art pieces, and witness stunning displays of acrobatics. “Without the Rams this event simply would not have happened, those young men were instrumental in the preparation of this event, and we were so glad we could contribute back to the Passageway Scholarship fund” said Mohan Das, event organizer.
