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. We are incredibly proud of these students and their continued dedication to excellence. Please join us in congratulating our JROTC program on this well-deserved achievement!

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. Mr. Jones’ years of dedicated service, commitment, and lasting contributions to Buckingham County Public Schools made a meaningful impact on our schools and community. We are sincerely grateful for the opportunity to honor his life and legacy, recognize his many years of service, and share this special moment with his family. His dedication to Buckingham County Public Schools will be remembered with gratitude for years to come.

Congratulations to our September Senior of the Month, Utoria Wright!
