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.
A more robust message regarding these devices can be found in the attached document: Enhancing Student Wellness: New Technology at Blue Ridge High School
If you have any questions regarding this new technology, please feel free to contact the main office.
Make plans to grab some Monical's Pizza on Monday, January 19th to enjoy great pizza and support a great cause: The BRHS Marching Band! Just click HERE to find the flyer - show it on your phone, or bring in the printed copy from school! Monical's will donate 20% of participating orders to the BRHS Marching Band!

There was something for everyone at the BRIJHS Holiday Sing-A-Long yesterday! 🎵 ⛄️ 🎁 We loved to see the high level of participation from students, staff, and families. Songs, mini games and a contest between teacher and students made for an action packed hour. Plus, we always enjoy the artistic finale of the Twelve Days of Christmas. 🎄
