RIDDLE JR/SR HIGH SCHOOL

A Message from Riddle High School Principal

Welcome Riddle Irish students, staff and families

We are excited to gear up for the 2024/2025 school year. Some changes you will have a chance to experience are new curriculums, especially in our science classrooms, extended school to adulthood transition programs, updates to our facilities, and leadership training opportunities. We have gone back to a period 7 system where students will have the opportunity to move around the school a little more. We have increased our very popular construction class time as we gear up to renovate and build homes in our community. Our high school band is excited for their upcoming trip to Hawaii in March. We are also looking at implementing a community outreach program to better our relationship with our wonderfully supportive community.

With all of those changes, we are still dedicated to continue what we do well, which is developing positive relationships with our students. Our small school community lends to small class sizes and opportunities for a personal education plan for our students. We are thrilled to help students reach their dreams. This includes college tuition payments at our local community college, working with our local businesses to provide opportunities for our students, and preparing students with the tools that every adult should know. We also recognize that the school day does not end at 3:00 pm. We offer plenty of extracurricular activities that are inclusive of all levels of experience. We will offer the usual athletic teams and are looking at adding soccer opportunities at South Umpqua High School and cross country locally for our Jr. High levels.

Whatever you are interested in, Riddle wants to help you participate in that activity. Let’s have a great year!

Power of Pink Essay Contest

Annually, the Community Cancer Center organizes the Power of Pink initiative, dedicated to promoting awareness of cancer risks. This campaign utilizes the recognizable pink ribbon symbol to highlight the importance of understanding cancer risks. Through educational efforts, the campaign seeks to empower individuals to proactively manage their health by making informed decisions and accessing available resources.

In partnership with Roseburg Forest Products, the 2024 Power of Pink campaign introduces a new element: a student essay competition. This component is generously sponsored by the employees of the Riddle and Dillard RFP locations and is open to students from Douglas High School or Riddle High School.

Fabrication Class

Plant Manager, Travis Pritchett, from Con-Vey took some time to visit our Fabrication Class and had some great observations and feedback for us. Thank you Con-Vey for the support!

"We had a great visit to Riddle High School's shop class this week! Over the past several months, these talented students built metal pallets for us to use in our shops, and we were happy to pay for their work to help support their classroom projects. But it wasn’t just about the pallets—it was about the connection and mentorship. Travis Pritchett, our Plant Manager, took time to talk with the students about quality welds, future apprenticeship opportunities with Con-Vey, and shared some real-world guidance as they prepare for their careers. We’re proud to invest in their growth, both in the classroom and beyond!"
