Blue Ridge Schools begin the Homecoming celebrations before the school week even starts. 

On the WHOW Morning Show, Wednesday, Superintendent Ryan Peyton told the Hart Media Group that they crown the Homecoming Court on Sunday night, so they can hold the title all week long. They also induct someone who has impacted the community positively into the Blue Ridge Wall of Fame. 

Friday's Homecoming Parade will be a highlight, just as it is every year. Peyton says it's one of the biggest parades in town, and he hopes that everyone sticks around afterwards for food trucks and fellowship. 

Blue Ridge High School's outdoor athletic facilities have received a facelift, and Peyton is excited to show that off to families and alumni who attend this week's football game against the Meridian Hawks.
