Riser Middle School presents...
Murals at "The Ranch"

Ramsey Elliott is an Art and Digital Media teacher at Riser Middle School, the applicant for this project, and the artist who will be completing the murals and creative spaces on campus. She is a wife, a proud “RaRa,” and someone who believes deeply in using her gifts to serve the students and community around her. Ramsey’s personal code is rooted in faith, family, creativity, hard work, and the belief that every student deserves to feel seen, valued, and capable of something great.

As an educator and artist, Ramsey wants her work to do more than decorate a wall. She wants it to create a sense of pride, belonging, and possibility for the students who walk past it every day. Through this project, she hopes to bring beauty, encouragement, and school spirit to Riser Middle School while giving students a meaningful role in creating something that will leave a lasting mark on their campus.

Ramsey will be leading two mural projects at Riser Middle School that will give students the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on their campus. One mural will transform an outdoor breezeway into a welcoming reading corner designed to encourage literacy and create a peaceful space for students to enjoy a good book. The second mural will be located at the school’s entrance, creating a vibrant first impression that celebrates Mustang pride, student achievement, and the spirit of “The Ranch.”

What makes these projects even more special is that Riser students will help bring these murals to life, gaining valuable experience while creating something they can be proud of for years to come. Ramsey also looks forward to sharing the finished murals with our families and community as we celebrate the creativity, talent, and hard work of our students.

“The vision for this initiative is to foster a sense of ownership and pride within our student body as they navigate their campus. It is my firm conviction that creative expression can empower youth to feel recognized, supported, and unified. By utilizing my artistic abilities to establish an environment where every child feels motivated and knows they have a place here, I know this endeavor will be truly meaningful.”
- Ramsey Elliot, Riser Middle School Art Educator
