Principal's Message

Welcome to North Ridgeville Academic Center! 

Welcome to North Ridgeville Academic Center! As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, I am excited to welcome our students, families, staff, and community members back for another year of learning, growth, and success.

As principal of NRAC, my goal is to foster a school culture built on collaboration, innovation, and high expectations for all students. By working together with families, staff, and our community partners, we create meaningful learning experiences that empower students to design their preferred future and achieve their fullest potential.

At NRAC, we are committed to developing students who are Ranger STRONG. Service, Teamwork, Respect, Ownership, Necessity, and Goals guide everything we do and help us focus on the whole child. While academic achievement remains a priority, we also strive to ensure that every student feels safe, supported, valued, and connected to our school community.

We are also proud to participate in Ohio's Stay in the Game! Attendance Network, an initiative that promotes the importance of regular school attendance and student engagement. We know that students who attend school consistently are more likely to achieve academic success, build positive relationships, and develop habits that support lifelong learning. Through this initiative, we partner with families to encourage strong attendance habits and ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

I am honored to serve the North Ridgeville community and privileged to work alongside dedicated educators, supportive families, and outstanding students. Together, we will continue building positive relationships and creating opportunities that support both academic excellence and personal growth.

Go Rangers!
