RAMSEY HIGH SCHOOL

Take the night off from the kitchen and join us for dinner! Grab Chipotle on Tuesday, October 27th, between 4 and 8 PM—a portion of your purchase supports the Senior Gala.

When you think of RHS's Unified Club (formerly known as Best Buddies), you may automatically think of their really FUN lunch socials, but Unified Club is so much MORE than that. You can find our Unified Rams volunteering in the community, fundraising for good causes, and hanging out outside of school because our members have built friendships that have no boundaries. Helping customers at the snack stand during sports games? Setting up and starting the dance party at RIFE's holiday events? Raising money for Special Olympics NJ? Having lunch and playing games at your local Panera? Jumping in to help and join Ramsey's Challengers sports teams? You betcha, we are there! Go, Unified Rams!

Grateful for the Ramsey community that helps make Unified events like this possible! A HUGE thank you to Ramsey's local ShopRite for donating 50 pumpkins for our Falling into Friendship lunch social. Our members got together for some fun pumpkin decorating and good conversations while they celebrated the fall season. 🎃

As a Unified Champion School, RHS's Unified Rams seek opportunities to take on leadership roles throughout the state of NJ that help us improve our Unified programs and identify ways to make inclusion a way of life in our school and community. These Unified Rams proudly represented RHS at Special Olympics NJ's recent Youth Leadership Summit at Pascack Hills High School. Ramsey joined the conversation to share what we do as a school to create inclusive experiences for all and to learn from our friends in other school districts. Students left inspired and motivated to continue making a difference. Inclusion lives here, Ramland...& it starts with US!

Happy Halloween from Andy and his toys!

While Madame Vlasova is impersonating Van Gogh, AP French students are protesting in French for more parking spots, less homework, and better financing of arts programs. Vive la France!

Students in Mme Vlasova's French IV classes wrote and presented their own songs about family, in French! Some slammed, some rapped, others sang opera.

Congrats to the 66 inductees of the Ramsey National Honor Society! Continue shining through service, leadership, scholarship and character!

S.T.E.P. at RHS celebrated their 4th annual Apple Palooza event with special guests. The performance task? It was a battle of the seasons as students collaborated in teams to make seasonal apple desserts to serve. Students worked on various life skills, from following recipes and grocery shopping to working on Canva to make invitations and recipe cards and communicating with guests. The final products included air fryer apple bombs, apple ginger cake, apple tiramisu, and caramel apple eclair cake. DELISH!🍎

Join Student Congress and Unified Club for the ultimate Halloween Party this Friday! Pizza, treats and a costume contest but you MUST be in costume!!! See you in the Mitchell Gym during lunch on Friday!

Honors Chemistry students stepped into the lab to explore emission spectra! Wearing special diffraction glasses, they observed how different elements emit specific wavelengths of light. Just like our fingerprints are unique to us, each element produces its own distinct spectral lines—whereas white light (like sunlight or incandescent bulbs) creates a full, continuous rainbow! 💡✨

Great week for our new DECA members! Our officers hosted a Role Play Bootcamp to help around 50 first-year students prepare for their upcoming January events. Members broke down a winning role play to learn what sets top competitors apart and then put those skills into practice in small-group sessions.

Eighth grade families... let's talk athletics. 🐏

For years, conventional wisdom suggested that private programs had a monopoly on championship culture, collegiate pipelines, and elite development.

Ramsey High School begs to differ.

From state titles and conference dominance to student-athletes routinely competing at the highest collegiate levels, Ramsey continues to prove that exceptional athletic achievement, player development, and community pride don't require a tuition check.

The bar has been raised.
