Please join us in welcoming Sharon Pettus to Buckingham County Public Schools!
I am incredibly honored and excited to serve as the new Principal of Buckingham Primary School for the next school year.
With a background in elementary education and school leadership, I am deeply committed to fostering a positive, student-centered learning environment where every child can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Throughout my career, I have focused on supporting high-quality instruction, building strong relationships with students, staff, and families, and ensuring meaningful outcomes for all learners.
As an educator, this work has always been more than a career—it is truly a calling. I believe that strong relationships, high expectations, and a shared commitment to student success are the foundation of a thriving school community. I am especially excited to join a dedicated staff and partner with our students, families, and the broader community to build on the great work already happening at Buckingham Primary.
On a personal note, I am a proud wife and the mother of three grown boys—roles that have shaped my perspective, strengthened my commitment to children, and deepened my
understanding of the importance of education and community.
I look forward to this new chapter and to working together to ensure every child at Buckingham Primary feels valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.

Your support, organization, and dedication keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. You get the job done and keep everyone on track—making a difference in our schools every single day.
We truly appreciate all that you do!

Jordyn Hickson ~ She helped clean the hallway during bus waves on Friday and swept the whole hall!
Connor Branch ~ After he saw a student cleaning the hall, he volunteered to help her.
Riley Page ~ Riley is currently the catcher for the JV baseball team. He always has a positive attitude and encourages his pitcher when the pitcher appears to be getting down on himself. Riley exemplifies sportsmanship and leadership on the field.
