Blue Ridge is a proud participant in the Illinois Youth Survey each time it is conducted. 10th and 12th grade students are asked to anonymously participate in something designed to help our community develop programs and strategies to enhance youth development.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your thoughts and support our schools! #br_u_knighted
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey opens February 3–March 13. It only takes a few minutes, but the feedback goes a long way in helping us make our schools even better. Students in grades 4–12 will take the survey at school, and we’re encouraging parents to participate too. The survey asks about school climate, learning conditions, and overall experiences, and it helps guide how we support students and staff. The links below provide information to parents regarding accessing the survey. There is also a student opt out form attached.

From Coach Schubert, BRHS Head Football Coach:
For all 8th graders interested in high school football, we will have open Optional Training Activities (OTAs) at 4 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month. This Friday, following optional training activities, we will have a player meeting (4:30-5p.m.) to talk about spring schedule, training opportunities, select jersey numbers, and discuss uniform changes coming up.
OTAs are from 4-4:30
These training activities will help us prepare for the Fall season.
I'd really like to see as many athletes as possible. Whether you're just dipping your toes in the water or you're 100% going to be a part of the team, come check us out Friday 1/16/26. Enter through the weight room door behind the High School.
