Welcome to Harvest Ridge!
My name is Rick Ornelas and I am privileged to be the Executive Director/Principal at Harvest Ridge Cooperative Charter School. It sounds like a fancy title, but in reality, my job is pretty simple: support teachers so that they can support your students.
My job has also been made pretty simple from the tremendous amount of support from our staff and families. Janet Sutton is the true architect of Harvest Ridge, as she got our school off the ground about 10 years ago, and continues to contribute to our school today as a Teacher and Home Study Director. Her selflessness and dedication to our students has been the cornerstone to our community.
Our students and families make Harvest Ridge a truly special place. Our Independent Study programs allow for our families to have large goals and aspirations, and provide for so many different opportunities to be involved in their child's education. Our school has quickly set the bar high for our campus culture and educational rigor and has created many priceless traditions/experiences for our students. None of this can be done without the dedication of our amazing staff and families.
Regardless if you are a potential new family to our school, or if you're a family that's been here for the last 10 years, my door is always open to answer any question or address any concern.
I look forward to working together with you!
Sincerely,
Rick Ornelas
