Where the top of Elders Ridge

Meets the eastern sky,

Proudly stands our Alma Mater

On the hill top high.

Flag we love, blue & white

Floats for aye, E.R.H.S. for thee.

May the sons be true &  loyal  To the memory.

      I could not agree more. What a terrible shame to let it deteriorate.

      When Apollo and Elders Ridge joined to make Apollo-Ridge School District, the new high school was built, followed by the middle school and elementary school all on one campus in Spring Church. The school buildings around the district were either sold & repurposed or just abandoned because they were in such poor shape.
