Logan has always enjoyed doing well in school, and he likes to let his curiosity help him make discoveries. He remembers 7th and 8th grade science as some of the most fun classes I’ve had. He’s followed his curiosity in science and has found a particular interest in biology classes. Logan urges students to sample as many extracurricular activities as possible. Sage Ridge is proud to call Logan a scorpion, and we wish him the very best. 

Sam has long roots at Sage Ridge School, having started in 6th grade. She was a bit nervous about coming to a new school, until she met fellow senior Bella Cullen and played basketball with her. Since then, Sam has played on many sports teams although basketball has remained her favorite. Our student body vice president, Sam, founded the Last Straw club with three friends in order to bring environmental awareness to our community. Sam has made a great impact on our community and lasting bonds with her fellow students. We wish her all the best as she heads to Boston University this fall!

This past Saturday, May 11, nine SRS debaters in grades six through eight competed in the Lumos National Online Debate Tournament. Against older kids from schools in Texas, Massachusetts, and Florida, our kids did exceptionally well! Each team was able to win a round, and a couple of our teams won multiple rounds. This is a great result because we were up against schools with year-long debate programs, and our crew had limited preparation time.

Our sculpture is a representation of the Ukrainian cause in joining the European Union and the necessity of support from the rest of the world. We took the iconic image of France’s Eiffel Tower, and adorned it in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, hoping for bright skies ahead. We at Sage Ridge are looking to highlight one of the gravest humanitarian crises of our time, whilst also supporting the ever-present need to feed those in need.

The Reno Philharmonic’s Youth Concert Orchestra boasted two Sage Ridge students at their spring showcase on Monday, 2 May at the Pioneer Center: Emerson Evans ('26) on viola and Dominic Hernandez ('29) on violin. We are so proud of these students for all their hours of practice and for representing Sage Ridge in Reno’s thriving music community!
