Jori Vandenberg, Ms. V, is joining our Junior High staff this school year as a special education teacher. She is originally from the suburbs of Chicago. You may ask how she ended up at Ridgeview. She did her student teaching here and said she knew Ridgeview was the school she wanted to be a part of.
