Ridgedale HS Boys Basketball will be at Horizon Science tonight with a 6pm JV start!! Good Luck Rockets!!
A local home healthcare worker—and neighbor of Mr. Sieg—needed help while her kitchen was being remodeled. Mr. Sieg and Pierson stepped in and used cupboard doors from the neighbor’s mother to rebuild her kitchen cabinets, applying hands-on engineering and problem-solving skills.
Up next in the project, they’ll be creating homemade drawer slides and constructing matching upper cabinets to complete the set.
Check out the laser-engraved “Still Life of Fruit” design — a classic touch inspired by traditional Midwestern farm kitchens! 🍎🌽✨Another example of how our Engineering Pathway brings real-world learning to life!
