Welcome to South Ripley Jr. High

  • Dear SRJHS Families,
    SRWelcome to South Ripley Junior High School, a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence!  Our goal at SRJHS is to provide each student with a rigorous education that challenges them intellectually and creatively. At South Ripley we are a forward thinking school that operates on the premise that every student can and will learn in their own way and we support each other in this process. 

    The staff at SRJHS uses data driven instruction to provide your child with the most up to date trends in education. You will find that we fully embrace technology as we operate on a 1:1 device initiative. The standard is set high in each classroom and the expectation for every student is that they are an active participant in their own education. 

    We are committed to your child’s education and look forward to the start of the 2020-2021 academic school year. GO RAIDERS!


    Sincerely,
    Derik Hutton
    Principal

  • South Ripley Junior High School is proud to be a 1:1 school.  SRJHS students each receive a Samsung Chromebook to be used daily throughout the year.  Students are expected to utilize the devices in order to better prepare them as they enter college and the workforce.  Staff will integrate technology into their curriculum throughout the year.  This will increase student engagement in the classroom.  Parents are offered a protection plan at the beginning of each school year for repairs/damages that may occur throughout the year.
