Our counselors recently visited our feeder elementary schools to meet incoming students and share this video, hosted by our amazing Peer Counselors, to give you a real look at life at Mountain Ridge. From clubs, sports, electives, lunch, and core classes to transition supports like Bounce and New Beginnings, this video is designed to help answer questions, calm nerves, and show you that middle school doesn’t have to be scary. You’ll also meet some of our staff and learn an important truth: everyone has awkward middle school moments, even adults. We’re excited to welcome our newest Rams and can’t wait to see you next year!

Be There, No Matter What.
Whether you're stuck at work, traveling, or just can't make it to the game, you can still cheer on your student live from your phone, tablet, or smart TV.
Support student programs
A portion of every subscription goes directly back to our school's athletic programs, helping to fund new equipment, team travel, and facility upgrades. It's more than a stream—it's an investment in their future.
Connect with family
Share the link with grandparents, relatives, and friends so they can be a part of the action, no matter where they live.
