A hallmark of our school culture is our dedication to reading, writing, and communication—“every student, every day.” At Coal Ridge, these essential skills are part of the fabric of our educational experience, and all teachers across every subject area incorporate reading, writing, and communication strategies into their teaching. This consistent focus ensures that students become proficient communicators and literate thinkers, able to express themselves and understand complex information, which benefits them in academics, personal growth, and future careers. Our educators are united in their commitment to this approach, helping students see the relevance of these skills across all aspects of their education and lives.

Fletchall submitted a letter of resignation on June 18 and shared that his decision is rooted in the growth of his business, which now requires more travel and extended time away from the area.
