Alumni Weekend
Network with your Baron Brothers
Each fall, during the peak of autumn’s glory, Barons from all over the world make their pilgrimage to the Blue Ridge School campus for our popular Alumni Weekend. This is a chance to catch up with old classmates, network with other alumni, reconnect with BRS faculty, and, possibly, bring home the win from our annual golf tournament. There are also receptions, various class reunion events, pub gatherings, cocktail dinners, athletic events, clay shooting, and lots of laughs.
