Aspire to Inspire

At Ridgway Secondary School we have a saying, "Aspire to Inspire." Whether a student is an incoming sixth grader or a graduating senior, we keep this saying close to heart. After all, RSS is the last step before a student becomes a citizen of the world. Yet, to inspire the youth of the 21st Century it is necessary to engage students in a multitude of activities. Some of the highlights students experience each year include:

• A senior rafting trip with Outward Bound
• A junior cultural experience in Santa Fe, New Mexico
• Backpacking trip down Dominguez Canyon
• Service learning with the community of Ridgway
• Documentary filmmaking with Mountainfilm in Telluride
• 6-8 Learn to ski program through Telski
• Science field trips to an anatomy lab
• College preparation courses that can culminate in 40 earned college hours
• 8th Grade float down the Colorado River
• Ice climbing in Ouray, Colorado
• And many more...

Without a doubt, a student at RSS will leave our school inspired to make a difference!
