As F ii I came to Blue Ridge because they offered me a job, Ms. Peggy Grippin exclaimed. Ms. Grippin graduated from Blue Ridge in 1979 and N.A.U. in 1983 after majoring in P.E. The three loves of her life are sports, English, and Spanish. Ms. Grippin thought she could make teaching more fun and interesting than some of her teachers had. As a high school student, Ms. Grippin was active in Student Council, Spanish Club, basketball, and track. She felt that algebra, chemistry, and geometry were harder than English, P.E. and Spanish. She thinks Blue Ridge could be a better school if we had a cleaner campus and more school spirit and enthusiasm. Ms. Grippin teaches English I, English II, and Spanish II.
