📸 Check out some snapshots of our incredible teams below!
Celebrating Our Principals: May 1st ♥️
Principals are among the hardest-working individuals in education—and often the most underappreciated. Yet without their steady leadership, schools simply wouldn’t function. They set the academic tone, foster a positive school culture, and create environments where both students and staff can thrive.
Through their vision, dedication, and relentless determination, they make countless decisions each day that impact learning, safety, morale, and growth. Their influence stretches far beyond the office door; they are instructional leaders, problem-solvers, mentors, and the heart of their school communities.
We are especially grateful for the leadership of Mrs. Sarah Walker, Mrs. Denise Bryant, Dr. Courtney Browning, Dr. Jeff Garrett, and Mr. Damon Talley. Each of them brings a unique strength to our division, united by a shared commitment to student success and staff support. Their work does not go unnoticed, and their impact is deeply felt. Please join us in thanking them—not just this week, but every week—for all they do. GO KNIGHTS!

The music students from the MS and HS will be performing a concert for the community this Friday, May 2nd, at 6:00 PM at the HS Auditorium. Concert attendance is free of charge. Come join us!
WEDNESDAY is National Administrative Professionals/Secretaries Day!
To our dedicated Buckingham Knights Secretaries and Administrative Professionals:
You are the steady hands and compassionate hearts that keep our schools running. From managing phone calls and calendars to tracking buses and comforting students, you handle each detail with care and professionalism.
Whether you’re solving problems, supporting staff, helping families, or keeping everything organized behind the scenes…you do it all, and you do it well.
We love you very much! Thank you for taking such good care of our students, families, and staff. You are essential to the spirit and success of our Knight Nation.
TUESDAY was National Bus Driver Appreciation Day!
To our amazing Buckingham Knights Bus Drivers:
You don’t just drive buses…you move our mission forward. Whether you're taking students across one of the largest counties in Virginia, greeting them on early mornings, or safely delivering them to a field trip they'll never forget, you show up with dedication and heart.
You know their names, their routines, and sometimes even their moods…and that matters. Under the leadership of Ronnie Palmore, our transportation team is nothing short of remarkable.
We love you very much! Thank you for taking such good care of our students, families, and staff. We are better because of all of you! Go Knights!
Buckingham County Public Schools will be closed on Monday, April 21st in observance of the Easter holiday. We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!
