Principal Corner

Dear Ramapo Community,

Welcome to our school community, and more importantly to the Ramapo family!  As you enter our building, I hope you immediately feel the sense of connection, pride, and belonging that define who we are. Our school is more than a building—it is a vibrant community where students, staff, and families work together to create an environment rooted in respect, support, and shared purpose. We take great pride in fostering a culture where every student feels valued and empowered to take academic and personal risks, knowing they are supported every step of the way.

Our high school is a place where students build upon past accomplishments while discovering new passions and possibilities. We are committed to providing a comprehensive and engaging educational experience that challenges students to think critically, collaborate meaningfully, and grow confidently. High school is an exciting and transformative time, and our mission is to cultivate dedication, resilience, balance, and integrity in all that our students pursue—whether in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, or in service to others.

The strength of our school community extends well beyond our classrooms. Our parent organizations play a vital role in enriching the student experience and strengthening our culture. Through their dedication and generosity, they support scholarships, academic initiatives, the arts, athletics, and countless special programs that enhance opportunities for all students. I encourage you to explore the Parent Organizations section of our website to learn more about the many ways families contribute to our shared success.

I wish you a school year filled with growth, achievement, and meaningful connections. Be curious. Be courageous. Be compassionate. And above all, take pride in being part of this extraordinary Ramapo community.

Sincerely,

Claudia Dargento
