Welcome to Pleasant Ridge Elementary!
Home of the Panthers!
At Pleasant Ridge Elementary School, we’re more than just a school, we’re a Panther Family, diverse community where every child is seen, supported, and encouraged to grow. With dedicated teachers and support staff, and a commitment to academic growth and whole-child development, we strive to give each student the foundation they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. We’re proud of our steady academic gains, our welcoming environment, and the strong sense of belonging students and families feel here.
Welcome to our Panther Family!

We love our HABIT Dog Maggie Mae!

What is H.A.B.I.T.?
H.A.B.I.T. = “Human-Animal Bond in Tennessee.” It’s a volunteer-based outreach program run through UT’s veterinary college.
Our Panthers can visit with Maggie Mae for “puppy snuggles, laughter, and light-hearted play time,” which helps support mental wellness.
