I attended Ramsey when the school was first integrated. I enjoyed the dance instructor and civic teacher.The experienced influenced my life. My hope is more diversity and continued success with preparing future successful and thoughtful leaders.

Not only does Ramsay provide an enriching academic experience, but it was awarded for having a safe campus relatively free of discipline problems. Also the athletic teams are extremely competitive with the basketball program having won 2 state championships and consitantly competing for state titles.
