Mountain Ridge High School

Many of our students got to hear an incredibly inspirational message from Alex Boyé pointing out that we all need to believe we are a 10 and need to have daily self-love for who we are!

Had an incredible turnout for the Fall Athletics Parent Night! Asst Principal/AD Miller introduced all the fall sports and coaches.

We had an incredible first day of Club Rush during both lunches today! Same plan for tomorrow as we hope all students find a way to get involved.

Families, please join us for Academic Expectation Night this Thursday, 8/17, starting at 5:45 PM.

The program will begin in your son/daughter's 1st period class for announcements from your Administration Team before you move through your child's schedule to meet their teachers. Below is a link to a document you can use to help guide you through the schedule and campus. Please talk with your son/daughter in order to fill in the schedule to follow for this evening event.

This event lasts from 5:45-7:25 PM.

It was incredible to have students back on campus today. This is definitely going to be a great year at Ridge!

As a fun way to review school & district policies with the staff we played Family Feud where departments competed between each other and then Principal Vines read the policies. Congrats to Social Studies for the win!

We did a major revision of our cafeteria over the summer. Taking out the snack island is going to dramatically help the flow as we filter through the 2,900 students we will have this year. And this new flooring absolutely looks incredible!!

Less than 3 weeks to tryouts! Make sure you are registered and clear on REGISTERMYATHLETE.com and that you’re working to meet that minimum mile time!

Mountain Ridge Community,

It was just brought to our attention that our campus parking lot and entry driveways are going to be re-paved this coming Saturday and Sunday, July 15-16, 2023. This has been an ongoing project this entire summer and the company has time to finish the project this weekend.

This means the front entrance to our school off of 67th Avenue will be closed this entire weekend, additionally, the bus lane will be closed and the main student parking lot will be closed as well. We are asking that everybody stay off of campus this coming weekend.

We do have a Football Booster Meeting on Saturday morning in the Auditorium, we will ask that all of those families park in the Patrick Lane parking lot and on Patrick Lane itself. Those families will need to enter campus from our Northeast Entry Gate and then walk over to the Auditorium. But those will be the only people allowed on campus.

Thank you for your understanding as we work diligently to make our campus look great

Attention all Freshman/New Student families: we have our big Freshman/New Student Walk Through, High School 101 presentation and our Freshman "First Day" Camp approaching fast.

Parents, please note that even though you might start seeing schedules appear in PowerSchool for the upcoming school year, those are not necessarily final schedules and are subject to change.

Once a school builds their "master schedule" it gets uploaded into the system and the computer then assigns students to the classes. But at that point every school needs to go back through those schedules and might need to change them based on such things like class sizes, changes in availability, changes in programs, or simply errors in placement.

This is why we ask our students to check PowerSchools right before they come to school that first day to see what classes they will actually have and who their teachers will be.

And just so you know, this is the same for all Deer Valley schools - schedules are not really final until school actually starts.

Mountain Ridge Community,

We are excited to welcome Gavin Lutman as our new Head Football Coach.

Gavin comes to us with a tradition of success in several aspects of the game.

His achievements began in high school, leading his team to a state championship title. While at Pittsburg State University, he earned dual bachelor’s degrees in business administration and marketing. He finished his collegiate career as an All-American Wide Receiver and National Champion. He then signed and played professionally with the Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans, and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

After concluding his professional career, his journey with football continued as he transitioned to becoming a coach. In the valley, he has been instrumental in bringing success to both the Horizon and Cactus Shadows football programs. He has helped many athletes prepare and earn college scholarships. Coach Lutman plans to use his knowledge to mentor and develop student-athletes on and off the field. Gavin lives in Mesa, with his wife Sarah, son Titus and new baby girl, Gianna. They enjoy outdoor adventures and traveling as a family.

Gavin will be at camp this coming Tuesday, May 30th, so he can meet the players in the program.
