The 2023-2024 School Year (with the exception of LCHS' Graduation) has come to an end, and what a year we had!
Students - You have so much to be proud of this year. You put in the work in the classroom and at home and the results speak for themselves. From earning statewide leadership roles in your programs/clubs to competing, and placing, in national competitions, your collective body of work is impressive. Enjoy your break, you earned it!
Employees - The success mentioned above would not be possible without you! Late nights, early mornings, cleaning, long trips, lesson planning, cleaning again, preparing meals, lending an ear to students, and cleaning again is just a fraction of what you do each day to make sure students have every opportunity to succeed. We are thankful for each one of you!
Parents/Guardians - Where to start? The school year is busy for you as well, and we appreciate everything you do for your student(s) throughout the year. Checking homework, charing iPads, keeping track of events and important dates, morning drop-offs, afternoon pickups, schedule changes, and last minute trips to the store for a project. We appreciate all that you do for your student(s), their schools, and their teachers! Thank you!
We'll see you in August!

The LCHS Panthers Softball team is gearing up for a big game tonight against Cabell Midland for the right to move onto regionals. Before they hit the field though, the team stopped by Hamlin PK8 this morning to help with student drop-off. The Bobcats enjoyed talking with and high fiving the team! Good luck tonight, Panthers!

Today is National Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and LCS is fortunate to have some of the best drivers around! Many students start and end their school day on the bus. Drivers are responsible for safely getting students to and from school, games, field trips, and more. Drivers put in countless hours training in a number of areas, like first-aid, to ensure they are ready for any scenario while out on the road.
School, and the events, games, and trips, that come with it would not be possible without our transportation team. If you get the chance today, give a shoutout or a wave to your driver to let them know how much they are appreciated!
