A DeWitt County school leader is focusing on modernizing the district. 

Dr. Hillary Stanifer is the Superintendent of Blue Ridge Schools and points to a couple of initiatives they are focused on to modernize. One is the district's app for better communication and the other is a more modern way for potential applicants to apply for their job openings.

According to Dr. Stanifer, not only does modernizing the district mean more streamlined communication methods but also a more modern look. She explains they are updating the district's track facility and have taken on a more modern look to the entryway and facade of its high school building.

Dr. Stanifer points out this is somewhat of a continuation of work they have already done. She reminds of the revised mission statement they did last summer as well as the rebranding from last year as well.
