💚💛 Happy National Custodian Day! 💛💚

💙 KNIGHTS AGAINST BULLYING! 💙

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, a time to remind ourselves that each of us has the power to make our school a kinder, more welcoming place. 💙

This Friday, October 2, we’re asking our BCHS students and staff to WEAR BLUE to show our support for bullying prevention, kindness, inclusion, and respect!

At BCHS, being a Knight means looking out for one another. A kind word, an invitation to join in, standing up for someone, or simply choosing kindness can make a bigger difference than we realize. 🫶

Let’s fill the halls with BLUE on Friday and show that our Knights choose KINDNESS! 💙💚💛

Be Kind. Be Inclusive. Be a Knight. ⚔️

We would love to serve you! Pick-ups are by appointment, so please remember to schedule your visit by 1:00 PM on Wednesday of the week you plan to come by.

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! This outstanding recognition reflects the hard work, leadership, discipline, and commitment demonstrated by our JROTC cadets and instructors throughout the year.

It was a true honor to recognize Rolf Leon Jones, Jr. by presenting a resolution to his family at tonight’s Buckingham County School Board meeting.
