Ridgemont Local Schools, located in Mount Victory, Ohio, used its OFCC funding to deliver a modern, 21st Century, Service-Learning environment to support the individualized educational needs at various grade levels. The district, and in turn, the new K-12 school, supports a community-based and project-driven curriculum with an agricultural focus.

"SHP’s partnership ranged from providing expertise in areas of bond issue passage, community engagement, collaboration among district personnel, educational design concepts, and of course technical capability in all aspects of architecture and engineering.”
– Emmy Davis, Former Superintendent, Ridgemont Local Schools
"Student centered design for Ridgemont was a collaborative effort between SHP and the district around the conceptual question, "How do we make school irresistible for students?" The process maximized daylighting, views, student autonomy and connectivity to adjacent grade levels, paired classrooms, small spaces, large group spaces and exterior education to support differentiated learning."
– Todd Thackery, Vice President of Architecture, SHP
