Principal's Message
Thank you very much for your support during this past school year! We appreciate your kindness, encouragement, and understanding as we navigated through another year of getting back to normal. We stayed sharp and stuck together as a team. I am grateful to be a part of such an amazing school community and look forward to our continued growth and success.
Have a safe and happy summer!

Congratulations and Best of Luck to the Buist Academy Class of 2022!
