Embracing the Unknown
Sending me to Pacific Ridge was honestly one of the best decisions my parents ever made. The best way I can say it is that Pacific Ridge makes change makers – the kind of people who understand the big picture and care about it enough to have a positive impact."- Alumnus
Opportunities to Explore
I'm really interested in science, both in class and in clubs, but at Pacific Ridge I was also able to help run a global magazine, play two sports through high school, try Model UN and travel to different countries. I had the time to explore my interests and figure out how I want to incorporate them into my life." - ALUMNA
