Thank You!
Thank you to our Buist Academy community for making the 12 Days of Holiday Cheer a Huge Success! We appreciate your generous donations and contributions. Your love and support are unmatched.
Special thanks to the Buist Academy Foundation for their help and support throughout this event. Please don't forget to contribute to this amazing organization!
Mask Requirement
Due to the latest DHEC COVID-19 rating for Charleston County, all students, staff, and visitors must wear face coverings in all of our schools and buildings beginning Tuesday, January 4th through January 14, 2022. The Board’s goal is to keep students and staff as safe as possible while there is a significant increase in COVID-19 positive cases in the community.
Philanthroparties were a success!
Our students went above and beyond to sponsor area charities. While having fun, students also helped give back to our community during December House Meetings. Thank you for all of the donations sent to make this event successful!
