Happy Assistant Principals Week to some of the coolest, most dedicated folks we know! 🌟
Here in Buckingham, we’ve got a dream team:
Zane Harshman – Buckingham Primary School
Often considered a real-life action hero, Zane is known for his unmatched ability to deescalate even the toughest situations, break down complex data like a human spreadsheet, and still crack a joke with his legendary dry sense of humor. And yes, he still shows up to bus duty on time like a pro.
Cristin Morris – Buckingham Elementary School
One half of the school’s dynamic duo, Cristin works hand-in-hand with teachers in PLCs to strengthen instructional practices. She's collaborative, focused, and makes real instructional magic happen. Her workshops for the staff are ones that people look forward to attending and learning.
Emily Harris – Buckingham Middle School
Attendance champion. Summer school expert. Family liaison. Emily brings a level of organization and energy that keeps our middle school world spinning. She goes above and beyond to support students, staff, and families, all while juggling the many hats of an AP.
Seth Wilkerson – Buckingham High School
Football coach turned AP extraordinaire, Seth uses his leadership skills from the field to coach kids through high school life. Whether he’s in the halls, at the games, or stepping into a student conference, he builds trust and teamwork wherever he goes.
Faith Jones – Buckingham High School
Faith brings intention, strength, and heart into every interaction. She’s got a way of turning hallway chats into mini-fireside chats, and her ability to lift teachers through feedback, faith, and genuine relationship-building is something to behold.
Together, this group represents the very best of what it means to serve. They don’t just handle discipline and logistics—they build culture, forge connections, and quietly shape the lives of students and staff every single day.
