Our History...

    

In 1968, the Blue Grass Baptist School began with a kindergarten in the Fellowship Baptist Church, Lexington, Kentucky.  In 1969, the school went from kindergarten through the second grade.  The school used the Sunday School rooms at Bryan Station Baptist Church in 1970, then moved to the Northside Baptist Church for one year.  In August, 1970, the school was incorporated under the name of Blue Grass Baptist Schools.  By 1971, the school had grown to include kindergarten through fifth grade.  In 1972, the Ashland Avenue Baptist Church generously permitted the school to use their building for three years and also lent their church bus to pick up the children.  The school now goes through twelfth grade.  In 1975, with God's help and concern of the people and their endeavors for a building to fill the need for the kindergarten through the twelfth grade, the school built a brand new $400,000 concrete block building which includes 14 classrooms, an administrative area and an all-purpose room.  It is situated on 5.2 acres on the Red River Road, Lexington, Kentucky, with ample room for an athletic field and a gymnasium.  By the fall of 1978, Blue Grass Baptist School was complete, with grades K-12.  In the spring of 1979, they had their first graduating class.  Pre-School was added to the curriculum in 1983.

 

                A gymnasium was added to the campus in 1996 to accommodate the elementary and high school P.E. classes and the growing athletic program.  We have accomplished several state titles since we opened the gym doors over 10 years ago.

                Brother Al Gormley, pastor of Bryan Station Baptist Church, along with other local Baptist pastors and laymen saw a need for Christian education in Lexington and began Blue Grass Baptist School.  Gerald Smith was key in the building of our school building at 3743 Red River Drive.  When we think of the history of Blue Grass Baptist School, we automatically think of Brother Gormley, Gerald Smith, Gary Cornett, and Brother Harp.  Wonderful ladies such as Patt Cornett, Linda Jufer, and Linda Harp come to mind, as well.

 

     But, that was just the beginning!
