WEDNESDAY is National Administrative Professionals/Secretaries Day!
To our dedicated Buckingham Knights Secretaries and Administrative Professionals:
You are the steady hands and compassionate hearts that keep our schools running. From managing phone calls and calendars to tracking buses and comforting students, you handle each detail with care and professionalism.
Whether you’re solving problems, supporting staff, helping families, or keeping everything organized behind the scenes…you do it all, and you do it well.
We love you very much! Thank you for taking such good care of our students, families, and staff. You are essential to the spirit and success of our Knight Nation.
TUESDAY was National Bus Driver Appreciation Day!
To our amazing Buckingham Knights Bus Drivers:
You don’t just drive buses…you move our mission forward. Whether you're taking students across one of the largest counties in Virginia, greeting them on early mornings, or safely delivering them to a field trip they'll never forget, you show up with dedication and heart.
You know their names, their routines, and sometimes even their moods…and that matters. Under the leadership of Ronnie Palmore, our transportation team is nothing short of remarkable.
We love you very much! Thank you for taking such good care of our students, families, and staff. We are better because of all of you! Go Knights!
Buckingham County Public Schools will be closed on Monday, April 21st in observance of the Easter holiday. We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!

Congratulations to DeAndre Turner and Eli Farrish for placing 2nd and 3rd in the Spring Central Regional Forum Art Contest!

Happy Assistant Principals Week to some of the coolest, most dedicated folks we know! 🌟
Here in Buckingham, we’ve got a dream team:
Zane Harshman – Buckingham Primary School
Often considered a real-life action hero, Zane is known for his unmatched ability to deescalate even the toughest situations, break down complex data like a human spreadsheet, and still crack a joke with his legendary dry sense of humor. And yes, he still shows up to bus duty on time like a pro.
Cristin Morris – Buckingham Elementary School
One half of the school’s dynamic duo, Cristin works hand-in-hand with teachers in PLCs to strengthen instructional practices. She's collaborative, focused, and makes real instructional magic happen. Her workshops for the staff are ones that people look forward to attending and learning.
Emily Harris – Buckingham Middle School
Attendance champion. Summer school expert. Family liaison. Emily brings a level of organization and energy that keeps our middle school world spinning. She goes above and beyond to support students, staff, and families, all while juggling the many hats of an AP.
Seth Wilkerson – Buckingham High School
Football coach turned AP extraordinaire, Seth uses his leadership skills from the field to coach kids through high school life. Whether he’s in the halls, at the games, or stepping into a student conference, he builds trust and teamwork wherever he goes.
Faith Jones – Buckingham High School
Faith brings intention, strength, and heart into every interaction. She’s got a way of turning hallway chats into mini-fireside chats, and her ability to lift teachers through feedback, faith, and genuine relationship-building is something to behold.
Together, this group represents the very best of what it means to serve. They don’t just handle discipline and logistics—they build culture, forge connections, and quietly shape the lives of students and staff every single day.
