A Message From Mr. Ritchey:

I am very fortunate to serve in a Christian school where students, parents, teachers, and supporters work together in serving Jesus Christ.  We need to work together in making Blue Grass Baptist School the best it can be.  I cannot do it alone, but if everyone works together, God will truly bless our school and our school families.  We need to put our Lord first and wait upon Him to bring amazing results to our school!  I am excited about being Principal of BGBS.  Our students here are what make this school such a wonderful place to serve.  My vision for the school is to move toward a stronger academic, college-preparatory education that will enable all our students to go to college.  Instilling a Biblical worldview across our curriculum and the mindsets of our students will enable them to stand firm in their beliefs as they prepare for their future.  As we continue to grow in number, I would like for our school to expand in classroom and athletic space or possible re-location.  This will take time of course, but we need to work together allowing God to bless our school and our school family.  I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity to be administrator of BGBS.  May God Bless each and everyone of you!
