WELCOME BACK RATTLERS!
Message from our Principal
On behalf of B.L. Gray Junior High, we welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year! As the principal of BL Gray, I bring a commitment to the success of all our scholars, and the promise to do my best to inspire and lead innovations that will challenge our scholars and develop essential skills that will allow them to be successful.
The first two weeks of school have been a great success! Our incoming 7th grade scholars are quickly adapting to junior high, and our 8th grade scholars are doing an amazing job leading by example. Our extracurricular programs are off to a STRONG start, and our scholars have demonstrated that they are ready to LEAD by embracing The Rattler Way! Many great things are happening! All of which could not be possible without your partnership!
Parents, thank you, for your continued support; together, we will make the 2023-2024 school year another great year for our scholars, continuing our tradition of EXCELLENCE at B.L. Gray Junior High.
Mrs. Maria D. Chavez, Principal
