Cora Ritger

Cora Ritger is the Co-Head of Education at ESS and a student at Saint Francis High School. She is passionate about learning, and her favorite classes are history and science because of their interdisciplinary elements and depth. She enjoys reading and writing, and uses those interests to be a writer on Saint Francis' student newspaper, as well as research for tournaments as a member of the Debate team. Outside of school she is a varsity distance runner and loves how running brings her closer to nature and herself. Cora intends to pursue public health (molecular biology + political science) in university, as she values civic engagement and finds the intersection of human and environmental health to be very fascinating.
