Boy, do I envy you guys. When I was in high school, I learned
BASIC and Fortran.

This is not a bad idea IMO. Start with simple things, of course.
Introduce OO fairly early.

Are these people who have programmed before at all? Or not?

Look up whatever Ruby tutorials you can. I don't have links
handy, but there are some good ones out there.

Good luck...
