The Buford City School District is a school district in Gwinnett County, Georgia, United States. The Georgia Department of Education announced Buford Academy as a 2014 Highest-Performing School.[3] Buford City Schools (BCSS) serves approximately 5,000 students in a campus-like setting of five schools, two performing arts centers, and a multi-purpose arena. In October 2020, Niche again named BCS the Number One School District in Georgia—an honor that has been bestowed upon the district for six consecutive years.[4]
The district includes the city of Buford; it is partially in Gwinnett County and partially in Hall County.[5] [6]
Dr. Geye Hamby was put on administrative leave on August 21, 2018, after recordings surfaced in which a person (allegedly Hamby) repeatedly and casually used the "n-word."[7] Hamby resigned on August 24, 2018, as a result of the recordings.[8]
