Blue Ridge High School Awarded National Recognition

Blue Ridge High School recently received an award for their academics.

BRHS was named to the US News and World Report 2012 Bronze Level of Best High Schools. Superintendent of Blue Ridge Schools Susan Wilson says they received this award a few years ago, but she feels it's still nice to be recognized.
