Many of us only got to see Mr. Montgomery’s
“strictly business” personality. We would like to share with you a slide show of some heartwarming memories over the years. His voice, his smile and that laugh will surely never be forgotten. As he always said, “There is a time to work, a time to play, and a time to rest.”
May you truly rest in eternal peace.

Ridgewood’s Junior-Senior Prom was a lovely night under the stars with friends, dancing and fun. We would like to thank Erin Steen and Compass Point Events for hosting the prom for these youngsters. Without Ms Steen and all of the alumni who have made generous donations, this memorable night would not have been possible. We thank all of you and sincerely appreciate it.

The Ridgewood Golden Eagle spirit was in full effect Saturday night! Forever Eagle Celebration was a huge success!! The decorations were beautiful, the food was delicious, and the company was even better! We have to give a big thanks to all of the people that have spent so many hours volunteering their time to make this event very special for all. Hats off to all of you! It is greatly appreciated! It would not have been possible without all of you. And last but not least, we would like to remember the man who was the main drive of this whole get together, Mr. Montgomery. He was not able to attend but we know he was there in spirit and would be extremely pleased with the way things turned out. That night, the main building was dedicated to him. Montgomery Hall it is!
Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle!
