Dear CHES, BGMS, and BGHS Families, Teachers, and Staff Members,

As your new Division Superintendent, I am planning listening sessions throughout the school division
during the month of March. The purpose of these listening sessions is to engage with as many school and
community stakeholders as possible to identify areas of strength and growth in Augusta County Public
Schools.

You are cordially invited to a listening session for the Buffalo Gap Area Schools on Wednesday,
March 4, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. at Churchville Elementary School.
During the listening session, I plan to ask these guiding questions:
❖ What traditions and beliefs do we value as a school division?
❖ What are the strengths of Augusta County Public Schools?
❖ What ideas do you have for improvement?
❖ How can we ensure high standards of academic achievement for all students?
❖ What are the challenges we face?
❖ What are your expectations of me as your new Superintendent?

Your insights as parents, guardians, caregivers, and employees will be invaluable to me, our School
Board, and our continued work toward meeting the goals outlined in our Comprehensive Plan.
I look forward to meeting with as many of you as possible on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.

Sincerely,

Kelly F. Troxell, Ed.D.
Division Superintendent

meeting on Tuesday, March 10th.

Buffalo Gap High School wins 10th place in the 2026 Microsoft Office Specialist Word 2019 State Championship Fall Qualifier

The winners of the 2025 Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Virginia State Championship Fall Qualifier have been announced by Certiport, a Pearson Business, the leading provider of performance-based IT certification exams that accelerate people’s academic and career opportunities. Winning 10th in the Microsoft Office Specialist Word (Office 2019), category is Nathan Aguirre-Jimenez from Buffalo Gap High School, Swoope. Nathan Aguirre-Jimenez competed against students from across Virginia to earn this coveted placement.


To compete in the Fall Qualifier, students aged 13 to 22 were eligible to participate in one of six competition tracks by submitting a qualified, passing score on the MOS Word, Excel®, or PowerPoint® certification exams by December 19, 2025.

“We have seen amazing results from the MOS program at our school as students learn and validate key workforce skills,” said Elizabeth Ashby, Business & Information Technology Teacher. “The MOS U.S. National Championship further motivates them to get certified, and we are proud of these students who have proven to be the best in our state. We know they will go on to make us proud at the MOS U.S. National Championship in June.”
