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鈥檚 vision since he founded the school in 1887. His vision, in his own words: 鈥渢o educate leaders.鈥� Today, we continue to cultivate leaders prepared for purposeful lives and meaningful service.
