BRHS is revisiting different approaches to how we recognize our graduates. This includes things like GPA, Valedictorian/Salutatorian, class rank and other graduation distinctions. The change would be a shift away from what has been done historically. That being the case, we want to be sure to give parents and community members the opportunity to hear about these changes and how they can be better for our students. Mr. Easter and Ms. Hieronymus will host a Q&A session on Thursday, Jan 22nd at 6 p.m. We will plan on using our teacher work room (inside the main office), but could relocate if there is a big turnout.

Congrats to the Varsity Scholastic Bowl team for placing 4th out of 20 teams at the highly competitive IHSSBCA Tournabout Saturday in Lincoln. In pool play the Knights defeated Williamsville 280-230, Dunlap 265-240, U-High B 280-200, Riverton 370-200 and finally Bloomington 315-200. In the championship pool in the afternoon the Knights came up just short to East Peoria 280-310 but rebounded to defeat Farmington 355-315 and Central Catholic 495-100 in their best match of the year. For the 3rd place match the Knights played well but ultimately came up short against Washington to place 4th overall going 7-2 on the day. Congrats to Indra Nolan for being the tourneys 3rd leading scorer with 52 toss-ups. Other contributors in toss-ups were Elias Nolan with 17, Cooper Rausch with 15, Broden Soliday with 9, and Ivy Whitehouse with 3. The B teams placed a respectable 4-4 on the day gaining valuable experience. Leading the B team in toss-ups was AJ Bernard with 17. The varsity is now 18-4 overall. Way to go Knights Scholastic Bowl!

Dear Blue Ridge Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,
Starting in late November, Blue Ridge High School began the installation process for Triton Vape Detectors throughout the BRHS campus bathrooms and locker rooms. These were installed as a proactive step to help address the health risks associated with vaping and to ensure our facilities remain safe for all students. At this point, the devices are now fully online and functional.
If you have any questions regarding this new technology, please feel free to contact the main office.
