In the fall of 1978, a young man named David Hughes, who hailed from Chattanooga, Tennessee, enrolled as an eleventh grader at Blue Ridge School.  Little did we know that he would prove to be one of the most respected and engaged leaders in his class. During his two years at Blue Ridge his determination to seize this opportunity to prepare himself for enrollment in a reputable college was foremost in his mind. Throughout David’s time at Blue Ridge, he made a personal commitment to strive to be his best in the classroom, on the athletic fields, during evening study, and as a class leader. This experience helped to prepare him to carry his leadership skills into his adult years and to successfully work with others to achieve desired goals.
