Dear Ridgewood Community,
Welcome to Ridgewood High School District 234 — where innovation, opportunity, and student success are at the heart of everything we do.
As Superintendent, I am proud to lead a district committed to reimagining education in ways that meet the needs of every student. In District 234, we believe in meeting students where they are and guiding them forward along their own unique educational journey. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to ensure each student has access to the support, tools, and encouragement they need to thrive.
We are proud to offer a competency-based education model, allowing students to progress as they demonstrate mastery of skills and concepts. This approach ensures learning is personalized, meaningful, and aligned with real-world expectations.
Our district is also at the forefront of career pathway opportunities, providing students with hands-on experience and guidance in a wide range of fields. Through strong community and industry partnerships, we help students explore their interests, develop professional skills, and prepare for life beyond high school.
One of our most exciting offerings is the ability for students to earn an Associate’s Degree while still in high school. This powerful opportunity opens doors to future success—whether that means entering the workforce directly, continuing to a four-year college, or pursuing technical training.
Above all, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority. We are committed to fostering safe, inclusive, and supportive environments where learning can flourish.
Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in Ridgewood High School District 234. We invite you to explore all that our district has to offer and to join us in shaping a brighter future for every student.
Warm regards,
Dr. Kelsall
