Building Community, Serving Students
BHS students served their community at the recent Red Cross Blood drive.
Earlier this month, the Georgia Department of Education released the test results from the Georgia Milestones Assessments administered in spring 2021.
COVID-19 Information
Buford City Schools continues to diligently monitor the health and safety of our school community. Throughout the school year, our district website's COVID-19 Information page will be updated every Friday to provide the updated total number of active COVID-19 positive cases in our BCS schools.

BCSS defines an active positive case as an individual who has received a positive COVID-19 lab test result and is currently following our district protocol for when he or she may return to work or school.
