If you lead a Christian school, I strongly recommend that you consider working with Ricky Rigsby as a consultant. His knowledge and experience uniquely qualify him to come alongside schools and help them strengthen their ministries. It has been my pleasure to work with Ricky on several occasions in different school settings over the past forty years! I have seen him interact with students, parents, teachers and staff in numerous situations. He is, without a doubt, one of the more gifted leaders in Christian education. His leadership skills and his heart for the ministry of Christian schools are exemplary. He and his wife and family are a model of what we are trying to encourage followers of Christ to mirror. He is a man of tremendous integrity, and I consider it a privilege to count him as a dear friend. If you have the opportunity to work with him at your school, take it! He will be a blessing to you and to your ministry. In Christ.

It is an honor to recommend Ricky Rigsby. I had the privilege of being a student under his leadership at First Baptist Christian school in League City, Texas. His influence helped shape the direction of my life and prepared me for future success.
Ricky is an outstanding leader and mentor. He not only guided me academically and personally, but he also modeled what it means to lead with integrity, humility, and faith. His encouragement and example instilled in me values that continue to guide me today.
Ricky’s strong foundation in faith is evident in everything he does, and he has a unique ability to inspire young people to grow into leaders themselves. He challenges students to reach their potential while equipping them with the character and confidence needed to step into their future with purpose.
I can say without hesitation that Ricky Rigsby would be a tremendous asset to any program or organization dedicated to raising up the next generation of leaders. His mentorship had a lasting impact on my life, and I know he will continue to do the same for many others. Ricky and I have kept our friendship and communication by staying in touch to this current date.

It is my honor to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Ricky Rigsby. More than a recommendation, this is a heartfelt thank you. I had the privilege of serving under his leadership when I was hired as the principal of Calvary Christian School. At that time, Mr. Rigsby was serving as the Superintendent of the Celebration School System, and his guidance made a lasting impact on my life and career.
Mr. Rigsby has been more than a superintendent—he has been a mentor to me both spiritually and professionally. His knowledge, expertise, and wealth of experience in Christian school leadership provided me with a strong foundation for success. He possesses the rare ability to combine wisdom and practicality with a Christ-centered perspective, always leading with integrity, humility, and grace.
In addition to his leadership skills, Mr. Rigsby made a lasting investment in the teachers and staff of Calvary Christian School. He provided professional development that was both practical and inspiring, and his Biblical Worldview training deeply impacted the way our faculty approached teaching and discipleship. By building meaningful relationships with our staff, he helped transform the culture of the entire school. His leadership sparked nothing short of a revival at Calvary Christian, leaving a legacy that continues to bear fruit in the lives of both our educators and students.
Furthermore, Mr. Rigsby is a gifted listener and problem solver. His ability to offer thoughtful counsel and steady guidance has shaped me into the leader I am today. I am confident that his influence has been a cornerstone in my development as a Christian school leader, and I will always be grateful for the time and wisdom he invested in me.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Ricky Rigsby without reservation. He is a man of character and vision whose dedication to advancing Christian education is unwavering. Any organization blessed to have his leadership, counsel, or involvement will benefit greatly.

Mr Rigsby is an outstanding spiritual leader, Christian Educator and discipler who possesses the capabilities to take colleagues, mentees and established organizational structures to the next level. This was recognizable through his fervent, strategic and firm leadership of the Crescent City Christian School student body and his leadership at Celebration Church. I have had the opportunity to work with and be mentored by Mr. Ricky and there are a few things I have learned about him during those years. First, he was always ready to serve those around him and asked questions that were instrumental to a number of tasks and assignments being implemented or completed. Second, his mind and work ethic is goal oriented and because of this he thrives when he is challenged. Third, he loves the Lord and has made it a point to live out the gospel daily. Finally, I loved how he loved his family and made it a point to attend to their needs.
I have observed how he has found a way to balance leadership, social and academic pursuits. Mr. Rigsby is an awesome Christian educator who prioritizes building up students and offering grace to them when others would not. Mr. Rigsby’s mind is one that is revolutionary and next level in thinking. I look forward to him achieving his goals and continuing in his pursuits to make faithful disciples who are conformed to the image of Christ. His impact on my life has allowed for me to thrive currently in my roles as husband, father, pastor, educator and learner. Mr. Rigsby would be an asset to any institution or corporation.
