Benjamin Hooks Central Library/Ridgeway High Library Collaboration
We are proud to announce a new collaborative project between the Benjamin Hooks Central Library and Ridgeway High School Library! Any student at Ridgeway High School may now register for a student public library card, place a hold on a book and have it sent to the Benjamin Hooks Central Library; they will bring the book to the school. The book can be returned to the school library where representatives from the Benjamin Hooks Central Library will pick the book up for return. This will resolve student transportation issues and open up many opportunities for student use of the public library system. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity! The link to the student public library card is at the top left of this website.

CALLING ALL 9TH GRADERS!! 2019 Career Ready! Summer Internship Program: The Department of Student Affairs is pleased to announce the availability of an exciting summer opportunity for 9th grade students in the 2019 Career Ready! Summer Internship Program. Do you know of any 9th graders who would like to explore a career in computer programming? We are asking high school leaders to encourage 9th grade students who are interested in coding to apply for a unique summer internship. A four-year commitment is required to participate and space is limited to 20 students. Therefore, only students with a genuine interest in coding are desired. Please ensure that students and their parents are aware that their completion of the application does not guarantee that they will be selected to participate. Only 9th graders at least 14 years of age by June 3, 2019 are invited to apply. Being an "A" student is not a requirement. However, it is imperative that students are truly interested; have good conduct (no U's and a maximum of 2 N's) and good attendance (95% or better). Students will work for six weeks (June 3-July 12) and they will be paid $9.00/hr. for 30 hours per week. The coding internship will be located at the SCS Technology Training Center (TTC), 3772 Jackson. Ave. If you have 9th graders who would be perfectly suited for this internship, please have them to apply! (Link to application is below.) This internship will be highly sought-after and there will be brisk competition so the limited slots won't last long. Therefore, students must submit all required materials by the February 27th deadline. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ms. Erma Carter at 416-9990. CLICK HERE FOR THE APPLICATION.
IN SEARCH OF PROJECT LIT PLEDGES
In August 2016, high school English teacher, Jarred Amato, created Project Lit to increase access to high-quality, culturally relevant books and to promote a love of reading in communities. According to Amato, Project Lit believes "wholeheartedly in the power of reading and in its ability to bring people together and transform lives".
There are currently more than 400 chapters in 46 states across the country, and Ridgeway High School would like to be added to that number. Project Lit members would be expected to read a book each quarter from the Project Lit book list and meet to discuss it, assist in increasing access to high-quality books in this community, and advocate for policies and practices that encourage students to become life-long readers through the use of social media and via other methods.
We need at least 21 students to join if we are to be accepted into this organization. Please see Mrs. Harris if you would like to represent your community in this effort.
