Exciting news from the Buckingham Rise Up Club! Buckingham High School Rise Up leadership team is learning the ins and outs of podcasting and just recorded their very first episode. This mission is all about building connections between students, families, and our community. Stay tuned for the official release of Episode 1—you won’t want to miss it!

Today BCHS celebrated Patriot's Day, commemorating the strength and resilience of our country following the events of September 11, 2001. We listened to the memories of speakers who were directly impacted by these attacks. The student body, faculty, staff, and guests were charged to never forget the sacrifices made for our freedom. It was a beautiful assembly. BCHS thanks all first responders and members of the United States military for their service. #GoKnights💚💛

Even though we started school on August 6th, the Buckingham County School Board still wishes everyone a fantastic #BackToSchool as part of the #VSBA "Welcome Back to School!" We are proud of Mrs. Abruzzo's high school art students for creating our signs! 💚💛 #BacktoSchoolVA

Congratulations to our September Senior of the Month, Micah Clark-Reed!

Mrs. Dunkum's Teachers for Tomorrow students visited Buckingham Primary School in preparation for their work as Teacher Cadets this school year. We are so glad to have our future teachers as part of Team Buckingham! #EveryKnightEveryDay. #TheBuckinghamWay!

Sir Knights a Lot surprised the elementary school by helping to bestow the Golden Plunger to the grade with the cleanest bathroom. Fifth grade won that title. Next were the Silver Tray awards for the classes with the cleanest lunch table. Third grade was Mrs. Tyler, 4th grade was Mrs. Ragland, and 5th grade was Mrs. Price. The last award was the Golden Tray and that was a tie between 4th and 5th grades. #EveryKnightEveryDay. #TheBuckinghamWay!

When you ride by the CTE center, see if you can spot the newly built bridge constructed by Mr. Scialdo's Carpentry II and III students. They did a phenomenal job with this project! Way to go KNIGHTS! 💚💛 #EveryKnightEveryDay. #TheBuckinghamWay!
