A message from Our Superintendent

Superintendent

Welcome to Green Ridge R-VIII School District! This is a GR-8 place to learn! Our student performance is impressive and the parent support is generous. We have all of the ingredients for Green Ridge R-VIII School District to be a model school district - one of the BEST! Continuing to improve takes a lot of hard work and the GR-8 staff members are working hard to meet high expectations. We expect a lot of our students, too, as we work to ensure they all graduate college and are career ready. Our students are doing a GR-8 job!

American History students watched a short video that detailed some "brutal" pieces of our country's history. Students noted facts and observations on individual whiteboards. The month of September has had lessons on both what has divided our country and what has united it.
