This month, we celebrated the junior class at Ring Ceremony, a beloved Sacred Heart event that marks the beginning of the transition of leadership from one class to the next. During the ceremony, seniors called each junior classmate by name to come forward as the next year’s school leadership and receive their Sacred Heart ring. The name of the junior called by each senior is a closely-held secret until the moment of the ceremony. Since 1940, a junior is also honored with the Inspirational Ring to the junior whom the Senior Class selects for her enthusiasm and school spirit. Congratulations to Jamie K ’25, this year’s Inspirational Ring recipient. 

It is a longstanding tradition that juniors wear their rings with the Sacred Heart facing inwards, symbolizing their time at Forest Ridge receiving the love of the Sacred Heart. During Ring Ceremony, the seniors turn their rings outward, symbolizing that they are stepping out to share that love with the world.
