Mrs. Boring's Preschool Class at Louisa West Elementary School Transforms into a Pumpkin Patch!
The preschool class at Louisa West Elementary, led by Mrs. Boring, had a delightful time turning their classroom into a pumpkin patch! The adventure began with a discussion about how many students had visited a real pumpkin patch. Next, a student was chosen to operate the cash register. Ms. Lori distributed pretend money, allowing the students to select a pumpkin to paint from their patch! This activity provided a wonderful fall experience for the preschoolers!

Celebrating Mrs. McDavid, LCHS Principal, during National Principals Month!
Throughout October, we are honoring National Principals Month! Today, we are excited to share a fun Flashback Friday photo of Mrs. McDavid, who was crowned the 2001 LCHS Homecoming Queen. Mrs. McDavid reminisced about her high school years and fast-forwarded to the present. "When I think back on my own school days, I can honestly say I loved high school! I was involved in band, speech and drama, and pep club. Some of my favorite memories were made during competitions, performances, and trips. Those experiences taught me the value of teamwork, creativity, and leadership. Now, as principal, I get to see our students creating those same kinds of memories, and it reminds me every day why I love what I do."
Mrs. McDavid is proudly celebrating nearly 16 years of dedicated service in education! She began her career at Fallsburg Elementary School, where she taught for 12 years. After obtaining an advanced degree, she moved to Lawrence County High School, where she has served as an assistant principal for several years. Currently, she is in her second year as the principal of LCHS.
Mrs. McDavid radiates a vibrant and uplifting leadership style that motivates both her students and staff. She works closely with her outstanding team to prepare students for college or technical school programs, while also offering valuable apprenticeship and internship opportunities. Her primary goal is to achieve a high graduation rate for LCHS students, providing a clear roadmap in hand for a successful future. Mrs. McDavid's steadfast dedication to student achievement reflects her commitment to delivering an exceptional educational experience. She has an inspiring and motivational message to share with her LCHS students.
Dear Bulldogs,
When I first walked through the doors of Lawrence County High School as a student from Fallsburg Elementary, I was just hoping to find my place. Getting involved in school activities helped me meet new people and feel like part of the Bulldog family—and because of my involvement, I rode a plane and saw the ocean for the first time! Those experiences changed my life, and now I get to watch all of you make memories that will change yours. I love watching you pass your driver’s test, getting accepted into college, and deciding on a career.
I love watching you find your passions, cheering on your teammates, and taking every step that’s shaping you into the incredible people you’re becoming. I loved this school when
I graduated in 2002, but I love it even more now that I get to share in your joy every day.
With Bulldog Pride,
Mrs. McDavid

As I step into this next chapter, I look forward to spending more time with my family and serving the Lord. It has truly been an honor to be part of this community. I will always be All IN—because LC is Home!" Mrs. Colvin's words reflect the deep connection she has with those in our school community, a bond that has been a cornerstone of her career.

Celebrating National Principals Month in October!
Throughout October, we are honoring National Principals Month! Today, we’re excited to share a delightful way back Wednesday photo of Mrs. Trimble as a third-grader, a student in Mrs. Jones’s class at Louisa Elementary School. Mrs. Trimble reminisced about her cherished memories and interests. “From a young age, I was often seen with a fishing pole in hand, all thanks to my Grandad, Bob Kise. This tradition helped us create cherished memories together. After my dad's passing, our fishing trips became a meaningful way to spend quality time with each other. We fished all the time! During the kids' tournaments, I always used a cane pole. I was able to compete alongside Kristy and Ryan Sammons, as well as Alan Short, which made for a fun, enjoyable rivalry!”
Mrs. Trimble is celebrating her 22nd year in education! She dedicated 12 years to teaching kindergarten and serving at Louisa West before becoming the principal for the past 10 years at Fallsburg Elementary School. We are truly grateful for her unwavering commitment and dedication to her students. Mrs. Trimble is always seeking out programs and activities that offer FES students valuable educational opportunities to encourage their growth! We appreciate her unwavering leadership and dedication to her students and staff. Mrs. Trimble leaves us with some kind and caring words for her FES students!

Go out there, give it your all, and be the absolute best you! Love, Mrs. Trimble

Mr. Bradshaw's LCHS carpentry class recently visited the Carpenters Local 472 Training Facility in Grayson, KY. This field trip granted students a chance to step outside their classrooms and provided them with valuable insights into the world of carpentry, skilled trades, and the importance of vocational training. Upon arriving at the Carpenters Local 472 Training Facility, the students were greeted by experienced carpenters who shared their personal journeys into the world of skilled trades. The facility itself is a hub of learning and development, equipped with state-of-the-art tools and resources that showcase modern carpentry techniques. The students were excited about the hands-on portion of the training center. This experience was not only educational, but it also encouraged students to consider their futures beyond the walls of high school.
