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💚💛

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!
