LCHS & LMS students attend KYA: Louisa Middle team passes their 1st-ever bill!
Today, we are proud to spotlight our LMS and LCHS students who recently participated in the Kentucky Youth Assembly (KYA) conferences at Crowne Plaza in Louisville, KY. We celebrate their dedication and success in engaging with real-world government processes. KYA allows students throughout the commonwealth to serve as part of a model state government. Students role-play as legislators, lobbyists, and media in a mock state government. They have the opportunity to debate real issues, develop critical thinking skills, and present their views to audiences. We thank Mr. McCoy, our LCHS social studies teacher, for leading and chaperoning both groups throughout their KYA conferences.
Congratulations to Louisa Middle School on its first-ever bill being passed, addressing maternity and paternity leave for state employees. The bill was presented by a team comprised of Preston Ward, Jordan Gibbons, Braelyn Spradlin, and Jazmyn Thompson. The LMS KYA program is funded by a three-year grant bestowed by the Jeff Bezos Foundation. This grant covers all costs for our students to attend KYA.
Both LCHS and LMS presented various bills to audiences and gained hands-on experience with the legislative process, expanding their understanding of government. Our students' opportunity to participate in these conferences was an exceptional educational experience! #LCisHome

LC Schools is delighted to share that Mrs. Amanda Ward has successfully completed the Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership (CIPL) Fellowship. This program empowers parents to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to become effective educational advocates and partners. It prepares parents to collaborate with educators and fellow families, ensuring students’ success! We continually seek meaningful family engagement within our school district. We are excited to announce that Mrs. Ward is the first to complete the CIPL fellowship within the LC School District!
Mrs. Ward’s Journey
Mrs. Ward explained her motivation for pursuing CIPL accreditation. She explained that during an LMS SBDM council meeting, Mrs. Sammons, the LMS principal, discussed the upcoming Parent Leadership opportunities with CIPL. Inspired, she applied and was accepted into the cohort. The program was comprised of five two-hour virtual sessions featuring guest speakers from across Kentucky. Many former CIPL members have gone on to become school board members or advanced from their current roles.
Mrs. Ward shared, “I am honored to be the first parent from the LC School District to complete the CIPL fellowship, but I don’t want to be the last! I have gained so many important skills through this leadership training. This is a FREE program, and I encourage other parents to check it out. I also urge parents to be active in education through volunteering or running for their school SBDM councils.”
Get Involved!
If you’re interested in applying for the next CIPL fellowship, you can find the application online at https://bit.ly/3LQvedz today. The Fellowship offers an in-depth learning experience, allowing parents not only to deepen their understanding of educational issues but also to design and lead a project that supports student achievement. We hope you consider becoming more involved in education today!
