At this month’s Buckingham County School Board meeting, we were pleased to recognize the NAACP Youth Council and show our appreciation for their support of Buckingham County Public Schools students. In partnership with local churches, the Youth Council collected and donated school supplies to help ensure our students had the resources they needed to start the school year ready for success. We are grateful for young people who are making a difference in their community and for the local churches and community members who joined them in supporting our students. Thank you to the NAACP Youth Council for demonstrating leadership, service, and a commitment to our Buckingham community!

At this month’s Buckingham County School Board meeting, we were proud to recognize the Buckingham County High School JROTC Program for earning the designation of Honor Unit with Distinction for the 2025–2026 school year!
