The school's former building, built in 1889, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991. The original building was a two-story building in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, with a two-story Colonial Revival addition in 1929 and a one-story flat brick annex added in 1969.[1] The building has been converted to apartments, offices, and a social hall.[2]
The School's newspaper, known as the Bear Tracks, is a student-made paper consisting of 7 sections and is issued at the end of every month.
The school's colors are purple and white; its athletic teams are the Bears. Blair High School is a member of the Eastern Midlands Conference and competes in Class B athletics as well as competing in mostly Class A fine arts. Blair High School's main rivals include Elkhorn and Gretna.
