South Ripley Elementary School's culture is comprised of administration, teachers, students, parents, and community partners. Through guidance from our staff and student feedback, we are committed to providing STEM opportunities to better prepare students with the skills necessary for future careers. To sustain our STEM plan and provide support for our teachers, SRES will ensure there is continuation of learning, instructional support, communication, and additional community partners.

To sustain our district STEM plan, South Ripley has established relationships with county and regional business partners. These partnerships include Genesis Pathways to Success, Purdue Extension, Batesville Tool and Die, Capability Farms, Tri Kappa - Kids Discovery, Hoosier Energy, and Southeastern Indiana REMC. We are also fortunate to have numerous granting organizations such as the Ripley County Community Foundation, the Tyson Versailles Fund, the Southeastern Indiana REMC, and the Rising Sun Regional Foundation.
