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. 

This will be my fourth year in education! I’ve taught at Lee-Hamilton and Griffith Elementary and I am excited to see all the wonderful faces at LH. It’s been a long summer and I miss making music with my students.
