James A. Campbell Founding President
James Archibald Campbell, both a preacher and a teacher, founded Buies Creek Academy in 1887 at a time when there had not been a school operating in the area for at least three years. We remain true to James A. Campbell’s vision since he founded the school in 1887. His vision, in his own words: “to educate leaders.” Today, we continue to cultivate leaders prepared for purposeful lives and meaningful service.
