Blue Ridge High School wants to take a moment to recognize the 80 students who have maintained above 95% attendance through the first 50 days of school. We also recognize that it takes a village, so we want to thank the parents and guardians who helped make this possible. Consistent attendance is one of the greatest contributing factors to overall academic success. Keep up the great work! Go Knights!

Last week, on Friday the 23rd, Mr. Tongate took a group of students to DeLand-Weldon for their annual Trades and CTE Career Fair. The fair consisted of 50+ representatives of career and trade based paths students may be interested in exploring after high school, covering agriculture and construction, to emergency services and municipal government, to entreprenuership opportunities and the military. This gave BRHS students an opportunity to interact with professionals in the field and get hands on experience in variety of areas. Special thanks to DeLand-Weldon for inviting our BRHS students down for this great opportunity.

An exciting end to the football season. Once again we were so close but came up short. But if you were there, you know. We saw our athletes play every minute like it was their last. We had everything: trick plays, touchdowns called back, big scores, a last-second (literally) touchdown, long bomb pass plays, overtime and overtime scores! And most importantly a crowd that yelled with all they had. We can’t ask for more. Our seniors went out with a bang in one, amazing final game. Thank you to Max White, Shawn Christie, Trevor Gembecki and Kam Hinshaw for everything you have done for the team and all the memories! This season is over but the next one starts Monday. Looking forward to that next snap! Let's Go Knights!!
