🚀 Mission in Action at Ridgedale
At Ridgedale, our mission is clear: we empower students to reach their full potential , whether they graduate employed, enlisted, enrolled in a 2- or 4-year program, or ready to launch their own entrepreneurial journey. Our goal is simple: every student leaves Ridgedale prepared for what’s next.
As part of our February professional development day, our grades 6–12 staff had the opportunity to visit Graphic Packaging right here in Marion.
This was more than a tour...it was meaningful workforce alignment in action. Our team gained valuable insight into:
✔️ The role Graphic Packaging plays in our local economy
✔️ The impact they have globally
✔️ The specific skills and competencies they seek in employees
✔️And so much more!
Opportunities like this strengthen the connection between classroom instruction and real-world expectations, which provides a true win-win for our staff, our community, and most importantly, our students.
A sincere thank you to the entire team at Graphic Packaging for welcoming our staff and sharing your expertise. Additionally, we are especially grateful to Tami Galloway for helping make this experience possible. Your partnership matters, and we appreciate your investment in Ridgedale students and our greater community

🔧 NUCOR Visit – Fueled Up Friday (2/27) 🔧
Last Friday during Fueled Up Friday (2/27), we welcomed Joe Bernicke, Troy Likens, and Austin Conklin from NUCOR!
✔️ Repaired our PLC software
✔️ Taught students basic PLC programming using MicroLogix
✔️ Introduced Ladder Logic and real-world applications
This is the same type of software used right here in Marion at Whirlpool and Graphic Packaging. PLCs also power traffic systems, electric grids, and industrial machinery around the world.
They trained several of our students, who will now help train Mr. Sieg and others moving forward.
We truly appreciate NUCOR’s partnership and the hands-on industry experience they provide for our students! 👏
