Mr. James A. Blue - Our Principal

Welcome to another exciting year at 71st High School!

As your principal, I want to extend a warm greeting to each of you, whether you are returning to us or joining our school community for the first time. We are thrilled to have you here and are committed to making this year one of growth, achievement, and connection.

This school year brings with it new opportunities, challenges, and experiences that will shape your future. I encourage each of you to embrace these moments with an open mind and a positive attitude. Remember, your time in high school is a journey, and every day is a chance to learn something new, build lasting friendships, and discover more about yourself.

I want to remind you of the importance of respect, responsibility, and resilience. These core values are not just words; they are the foundation of our school community. Respect for yourselves, your peers, and your teachers will create an environment where everyone can thrive. Responsibility in your studies and actions will prepare you for the future, and resilience will help you overcome any obstacles that come your way.

We have an incredible team of teachers and staff who are here to support you. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help, whether it's with academics, extracurricular activities, or anything else. We are all here to ensure that you succeed.

Let’s make this year the best one yet by working together, supporting one another, and striving for excellence in all that we do. I am proud to be your principal, and I look forward to witnessing all the amazing things you will accomplish this year.

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Sincerely,

James A. Blue
