Megan Ridinger is the proud mom of senior thespian, Holli, a third-year theatre booster
and a second-year board member. She is thrilled to be part of an amazing group of
parents who support and encourage all of the students in the Seminole High School
Theatre program. In addition to being a dedicated SHSTC Booster, Megan is also a

SHSTC, you can find Megan supporting the local arts with her daughter, cheering on
her son at the baseball field, or spending time with her golden retriever. She is grateful
for the opportunity to give back to the theatre program that means so much to her family
and to help make the SHSTC experience special for all of its students.
