The B. F. Grady School was a historic school building located near Kornegay, Duplin County, North Carolina. Designed by architect Leslie N. Boney, Sr., it was constructed in 1928. This two-story, 27-bay-wide building was built in the Neoclassical style. Additional wings were added in 1938, 1947, and 1950.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 and remains listed in 2012.[1] However, the building was destroyed in April, 1996.[3] In 2022, Andrew Wilson was selected as Duplin County Teacher of the Year. He taught 5th grade and was the first BFG teacher to ever win the award.
