Our Webmaster:
Our school's (potential) web page creator is James Jackson (II). He is a member of the Class of 1996 who played on Ridgeway's football team for 2.5 to 3 years.
"Melrose has only been a thorn in our sides since 1995. Do overcome them in my absence...not on a technicality." -- James J.
This technicality was nothing more than a student who played for our team when James was in the 9th grade (1992-'93). We won in '96 because he was playing for Melrose (after James' and the other student's class graduated! Ha, ha, ha...). This led to new "background checks" in high school football squads... or at least Melrose's.
As you can see, R.H.S.'s webmaster has a interesting sense of humor. To find out more contact him at [email protected] or contact him if this page needs maintenace/updating.
