The reimagining of how Battle House can serve Blue Ridge School and the community has expanded significantly with the creation of the Hall of Leaders.

The new Hall grew from a renovated out-building adjacent to the main house and flows into the new expanded back patio, the final piece of an improvement plan made possible by an estate gift by Margaret Curran.

The Hall of Leaders was conceived by the Alumni Leadership Council, and approved by the Board of Trustees, to celebrate alumni, community members, donors, athletic teams, and more for their extraordinary contributions to Blue Ridge School.

The physical space will be a lasting reminder for future generations of the remarkable history and people who comprise this School. Though of Leaders. The Alumni Leadership Council has drafted parameters for recognition, which have been approved by the Board, and the next step is the formation of a selection committee. That committee will consider nominations for the Hall of Leaders and weigh those nominees against the approved induction parameters. construction is complete and the building formally dedicated, no one has yet been inducted into the Hall

Many options for representing inductees are still being considered, though a modern digital component would allow many alumni to be included and the incorporation of text, photographs, and video highlights from both time as a student and from professional and personal accomplishments.
