WHO WE ARE



East Ridge Middle School moved into a new facility in January of 2000 after being located on East Andrew Johnson Highway since the school's origination in 1971.  The school, which totals 90,000 square feet, contains 24 standard classrooms, five resource classrooms, and three supplemental classrooms.  Each grade level is housed in three separated wings of the building with the main office being centrally located at the front of the school.

FACULTY AND STAFF

    Our staff consists of one principal, one assistant principal, 33 teachers, one counselor, one librarian, and four support-staff personnel.  The staff is committed to promoting the best education possible.  This idea is demonstrated by the fact that our teachers further their education by obtaining higher degrees, by taking staff-development classes in their respective fields of teaching, by using community resources personnel in their classes, and by sharing ideas and techniques with others.
