Our Focus - Pillars of Excellence
Community
We champion the importance that Community plays in both the education of our students as well as the retention of our teachers and staff. Through Title I Nights, Grade Level Concerts, and a campus-wide Community Carnival, we open our doors to our students' families and friends to walk alongside us for the educational journey. We also acknowledge that high quality staff, and the retention of that staff, is pertinent to everyone's ability to achieve and be successful.
Literacy
Establishing a solid foundation for literacy skills to be built upon is of our utmost importance. Students must be able to read in order to achieve. At Blue Ridge, our job of laying this foundation and strengthening the necessary skillsets is our number one. From entering our doors and learning letters and sounds, to exiting as fluent readers, each and every student is afforded what they need to continue to grow and succeed throughout their educational journey.
Post-Secondary
Student attendance, as well as growth and achievement, are major factors in successful post-secondary outcomes. Here at the Primary level, we take our job of keeping every educational pathway possible open for students to be able to choose from as they progress in their educational career. Additionally, we provide our students with exposure to a variety of careers ranging from trades to collegiate fields to choose from as future careers.

I am honored to serve as the Assistant Principal at Blue Ridge, where my focus is on fostering a safe, welcoming environment that supports every child's growth and success.

Student Involvement

Second grade students at Blue Ridge can be selected as members of our Choir Club and have opportunities to perform throughout the school year, with a live performance at both our whole school sing along prior to winter break and the 2nd grade music performance in the spring.
