My name is Robert Ridge and I am the band teacher at Griffith and Lee-Hamilton schools. I have taught band for about 29 years total. I have taught band in the Ferguson-Florissant District for 26 years. My wife, Julie and I have four children (all of them now grown). We also have two dogs (Harvey & Yogi) and a cat (Shadow). I am always excited to help students learn to play musical instruments and succeed in band.
