Riverdale Review: What brought you to Riverdale? What and where was your previous job?  

Mr. Eduardo Ramirez: I’ve always liked education. I like to teach. I’ve studied theater since high school, and I recently got my graduate degree in lighting design. Previously, I did teaching more in workshops and in smaller groups, and I’ve been wanting to teach in a more academic setting for a while, and after graduating from my master’s program, it seemed like a good time to search for that. I saw Riverdale’s program, and I saw what a wonderful school it was. It made me very excited to try and actually go for it, and now I’m here.

RR: Where do you stand on the new phone policy? 

ER: I agree with it. I disagree with the idea that you need your phone to get through the day. I didn’t need it when I was in high school and obviously times have changed, but I don’t think they’ve changed that much since I was in high school.
