Marriotts Ridge High School is a very comforting learning environment. All of the staff are great and are willing to do anything for their students. The building is very new and always clean. Throughout the hall of the school are some of the students art work on display, along with a clay hand mural, again contributed by the students. The security officers do a great job of making the environment safe everyday by connecting with the students. Marriotts Ridge is a great place for a student of any level to peruse their high school academics.
I loved the environment and atmosphere of the school, for the teachers and staff are very involved in the academics and extracurricular activities of the students. There is a variety of courses to take and many clubs to participate in that pique your interest. Also, there are numerous activities throughout the year that amp up the school spirit of the students, such as Pep Rallies, Spirit week, homecoming, prom, etc. I really liked the diverse student population, for the minorities always had a say in the running of the school. Overall, I loved the school years that I have spent so far in this school and have made so many life-long memories from this experience.
