What a week it was at BCHS! 🏰✨ We wrapped up an unforgettable Homecoming Week with a KNIGHTS VICTORY over the Prince Edward Eagles! 🏈⚔️💚💛 Way to go, Knights!
👑 A huge congratulations to our 2026 Homecoming King, Senior Jehremiah Woodson, and Homecoming Queen, Senior Lily Jones! We are so excited to celebrate you both! 💚💛
And what better way to finish the festivities than with A Knight in Rio! 🌴🌺✨ Our students certainly danced the Knight away, and everyone looked absolutely beautiful! From the spirit days and parade to Friday night under the lights and Saturday night's dance, it was a wonderful week full of school spirit, memories, and Knight pride.
Now, as we head into a new week and get closer to the end of the first quarter, it’s time to finish strong! 📚💪 Keep working hard, stay focused, and make these last few weeks count.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Homecoming Week so special for our students. What a wonderful time to be a Buckingham Knight! 💚💛
