James consistently goes above and beyond to support our teachers, staff, and students. From helping teachers prepare their classrooms during planning week to stepping in to troubleshoot technology, repair equipment, and solve whatever unexpected problem comes his way, James is always willing to help.

His friendly, approachable nature and willingness to do whatever is needed make him an invaluable part of the River Ridge community. James embodies the spirit of River Ridge through his hard work, generosity, and genuine care for others.
