Dear Blue Ridge Middle School Families, Students and Community,
Welcome to a new school year at Blue Ridge Middle School! Whether you are returning to our campus or joining us for the first time, I am thrilled to welcome you to a community that truly feels like home.
I have had the honor of serving in our Blue Ridge schools for over 20 years, and I can say without hesitation that Blue Ridge Middle holds a special place in my heart. Our school is more than just a building—it is a place where students, staff, and families come together to form a caring, inclusive, and driven learning community.
As we begin this school year, my focus remains on building upon our tradition of academic excellence. We will continue to strengthen the systems that support student achievement and well-being, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to succeed. Together, we will celebrate “The Ridge”—who we are as a school and as a community—by fostering a culture of Respect, Organization, Attitude, and Responsibility (ROAR).
At the core of our work is the belief that relationships matter. By creating strong, positive, and productive relationships among staff, students, parents, and community partners, we are better equipped to guide our students toward success in middle school, high school, and beyond. This shared commitment is essential as we rally together to meet our goals and prepare our students for the bright futures they deserve.
Let us continue to support one another, lift each other up, and model the strength of our school spirit. After all, We are BR—One Community, Tiger Strong.
I look forward to an exciting year ahead and to all the learning, growth, and celebration it will bring. Thank you for being a vital part of the Blue Ridge Middle School community.
With Tiger Pride,
Sandra Taylor, Principal
Blue Ridge Middle School
