At Pacific Ridge School, students develop local and statewide civic relationships through intentional engagement with the Carlsbad community, as well as local and state leaders. This past year the students built meaningful connections through service and outreach, and look to continue that progress this school year.

Fifteen years can seem like a short time or a long time, depending on how you look at it.
