Community views many changes Broad Ripple Village and Broad Ripple High School, a winning combination for 67 years, saw some changes this year. The addition of new students created an exciting meaning to the words Broad Ripple. New restaurants and shops popped up right alongside the old as if the Village was going through rejuvenation. The excitement of exploring the businesses sparked the curiosity of old Ripplites; and the old, new, and the in- between created an exciting spirit in the new students. The Village became an afterschool and weekend pastime for many. Not only did the community undergo changes, but its namesake, BRHS, changed also. As students filled the halls of the new and improved Broad Ripple High School, examining and re- examining the building became a task for all. Despite differences and adjustments, Broad Ripple Village and High School proved that the new and the old could get along fine. CROSSROADS . . Running through Broad Ripple Village.
