Please join us in wishing Mrs. Georgie Howard a happy retirement!
We are thankful for the years of dedication, kindness, and hard work she has brought to Lawrence County Schools. Mrs. Howard has made a lasting impression, and while students and staff alike will miss her dearly, we wish her nothing but happiness, relaxation, and new adventures in this next chapter.
Mrs. Kingsmore, LWES Principal, shared her gratitude: "I want to thank Mrs. Howard for all she has done for our students. She loves and cares for them as if they were her own. I have been fortunate enough to work with her over the last three years. We will miss her at Louisa West! "
As her retirement date nears, Mrs. Howard leaves us with these words. "After 20+ years, I'm both excited and apprehensive about retirement. I've had the pleasure of working with the best staff around, and my students have been like my own kids. I love them all so much! I don't know what my future holds, but I doubt that it will be as rewarding as what I've experienced in teaching. Thanks, everybody, for allowing me to be part of Lawrence County Schools. The memories will last a lifetime!"
Mrs. Howard, your presence will be greatly missed throughout our halls at the West!
Thank you for everything you’ve done for so many students in Lawrence County!

Happy National Principals Month to our amazing LEES principal, Mrs. Angel Defield! 🌟
Mrs. Defield works so hard every single day to make Louisa East Elementary the best place to learn, grow, and have fun! From greeting us with a warm smile in the morning to encouraging us in the halls and supporting teachers, her leadership makes a huge difference in our school. Thank you, Mrs. Defield, for your dedication, kindness, and continuous support for our students, staff, and families! Louisa East is so lucky to have you!
Since October is Principal Appreciation Month, we took this opportunity to ask Mrs. Defield who her greatest source of inspiration has been in her life. She shared that her parents, who were both educators, have had the most significant influence on her. She graciously shared, "My greatest inspiration as an educator has always been my parents. ❤️📚 My dad, Mr. Chuck Pack, was a math teacher who taught at LCHS, Tolsia, Fort Gay High School, and ACTC. He was also an avid sports enthusiast who coached and served as the athletic director at LCHS. My mom, Mrs. Billie West, taught at both Louisa West and Louisa East and later served as a reading interventionist before retiring from Lawrence County Schools. Even in retirement, she continues to volunteer her time helping students learn and grow through reading.
Through their example, my parents instilled in me the importance of relationships and the power of building strong, meaningful connections with students and families. They taught me that education is about so much more than academics—it is about knowing your students, believing in them, supporting their families, and helping each child discover their own potential. I am incredibly grateful to have learned from two educators who have dedicated their lives to making a difference in the lives of children. "❤️🐾

The resumed matchup between the Lawrence County Bulldogs and the North Laurel Jaguars is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 6:00 PM EDT at North Laurel High School in London, Kentucky.
Game Context & Background
• Original Date: The game was originally played on September 18, 2026, and was suspended/postponed at halftime due to weather.
• Halftime Score: Lawrence County was leading 13–7 when the game was halted.
• Resumption: The teams are picking up the action right at the start of the third quarter.
New Student Organization at LCHS: Youth Environmental Health Coalition
The Science Department is excited to announce a new student organization at Lawrence County High School: The Youth Environmental Health Coalition. Chaired by Dr. Aggy Vanderpool and partnered with Ms. Patricia Shepherd of the Lawrence County Health Department, the Youth Environmental Health Coalition focuses on how the natural environment affects human health, including water, air, and soil quality. The University of Kentucky Healthy Way Program awarded the YEHC a grant to investigate surface water quality in Blaine Creek in Lawrence County. The study is titled, "Dangerous Waters: The Effects of Surface Water Contamination on Health and Well-Being in Lawrence County, Kentucky". This fall, YEHC students sampled Blaine Creek above and below Yatesville Dam as well as the public launch area at Yatesville Lake. The sampling included multiple water-quality chemical analyses and a quick scan for E. coli bacteria. YEHC students will present their findings in April at the University of Kentucky Healthy Way Appalachian Research Day.
Levi Roddenberry, LCHS Senior, YEHC member and member of the 2026-27 APES Class, shared, "The Youth Environmental Health Coalition has opened doors for leadership opportunities to connect what I learn to real work, and to do work that I really believe in. I hope to help educate the public with our discoveries."
LCHS students who participated in this event include: Rain Gerardi, Elle Parsley, Ethan Preece, Sophie Preece, Michelle Owens, Levi Roddenberry, Caden Slone, and Andrew Wolford.
Reminder! Blaine Elementary School will be hosting its Data Night on Tuesday, Oct. 27th, from 4:30-6:00 PM! We will be serving light refreshments. We hope you will make plans to come out to this informative event! #LCisHome

LC Schools celebrates Mrs. Kingsmore, our LWES Principal!
A great principal is the heart of a school, and we are thankful for the vision, dedication, and warmth that Mrs. Kingsmore brings to Louisa West Elementary every day. Leading an elementary school requires a rare balance of leadership and care—qualities she demonstrates effortlessly whether guiding staff, supporting families, or greeting students with an encouraging smile. Mrs. Kingsmore creates a safe and inspiring environment where young minds are nurtured, teachers feel supported, and every child is cheered on to reach their full potential. Thank you, Mrs. Kingsmore, for your unwavering commitment to shaping the future, one student at a time!
As Mrs. Kingsmore looked back to those who helped shape who she is today, she selected her fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Akers, who left a significant mark on her life. She shared, "Sherita Akers was my fourth-grade teacher. It was the first year that fourth grade was in the now-Louisa East. She always had a smile on her face and made us all feel special every day. She was patient and kind, always wore the most beautiful jewelry, and had her “teaching outfits”…the kind that everyone wants to bring back today in the elementary world. To me, she was the definition of what you would expect in an elementary school teacher, plus much more. As I began my career as a teacher, she was there every step of the way. I ended up teaching down the hall from her for many years as a fourth-grade teacher. She constantly checked in on me, helped when needed, and loved my students just as she did for me when I was their age. She has always remained graceful, resilient, and made everyone feel special. I hope to carry these qualities with me as I work with my students and staff. She has supported and encouraged me through every step of my career. One of the best teachers and an all-around great human, in my books! Although she’s retired, I’m lucky because now my own babies get to feel her love and support as they grow up! This is a picture of Mrs. Akers and me on the 2022 Safety Patrol Trip. "
