Storm Ridge Ranch was established in 1986 in response to the growing number of adolescents becoming involved in drug and alcohol abuse and the seeming decline in strong family values, social conflicts, and academic problems.
The primary purpose of the Storm Ridge Facility is to assist these youth in becoming well established and productive citizens, equipped with the tools necessary to succeed in today's society. Students are helped to find solutions for the problems facing them and encouraged to take the action necessary to change their behaviors and their lives.
