Our principals are the heart of our schools—their presence sets the tone, their leadership inspires excellence, and their dedication ensures that every student and staff member feels supported and valued. Day in and day out, they go above and beyond to create safe, welcoming, and thriving learning environments where everyone can succeed.
Because of their commitment, our schools are stronger, and our students are better prepared for the future.

Please join us in welcoming Sharon Pettus to Buckingham County Public Schools!
Mrs. Denise Bryant, the current Primary School principal, will remain in her role through June 30, 2026. She will assist Mrs. Pettus during her transition. Mrs. Bryant will transfer to Coordinator of Instructional Support effective July 1, 2026.
Message from Mrs. Pettus: I am incredibly honored and excited to serve as the new Principal of Buckingham Primary School. 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!
