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.

Louisa East is delighted to introduce its new up-and-coming artist, Lincoln Shannon! Ms. Mary Shannon, a LEES instructional assistant, shared Lincoln’s story with us. “He didn’t seem to like recess very much. So, his mom mentioned to me that he liked sidewalk chalk. I brought some the next day, and he drew the bulldog picture. I just thought it would be an awesome idea for a Bulldog shirt. So, I sent it to a company, and they put it on a shirt for us. They are still available to purchase!” The LEES school community is in love with Lincoln's t-shirt design, and we appreciate Ms. Shannon’s quick thinking and action in getting the design on t-shirts! If you would like to purchase a t-shirt with Lincoln’s signature bulldog design, here is the link:

The Challenger Learning Center in Hazard, KY, recently hosted a facilitated training session by Dataseam, which LCHS senior Aiden Mynhier attended. This training is closely linked to Aiden's coursework for Dataseam, as part of his two-year apprenticeship. Mr. Brian Gupton, the CEO of Dataseam, visited and talked with the apprenticeship class. Through Aiden’s participation in the training, he successfully secured 10 Apple desktop computers for our school district. A fun fact about the Challenger Learning Center is that it is one of only 19 centers in the United States, funded by NASA, that aims to inspire and educate middle and high school students.

Congratulations to Miss Nevaeh Schwan, a junior LCHS art student, for having her artwork design chosen and featured on t-shirts at the 2025 Healing Appalachia Festival! Mrs. Brown, the LCHS art teacher discussed how five of her art students submitted designs to the director of Healing Appalachia. Ultimately, Nevaeh's design was selected to be featured on t-shirts and sold at the festival. Mrs. Brown explained, "By gate opening of day two, our shirts were completely sold out. And it was actually the first of all the shirts to do so."
Nevaeh shared how she decided on the direction of her design. "I wanted to do something different. I felt like many designs might feature a deer, so I decided to use and draw the fox. I added in the butterfly, the phases of the moon, and fern leaves. I was very surprised to be selected, but I feel like is a great thing, a big thing." The proceeds from the t-shirt sales will benefit the LCHS Visual Art Program. Mrs. Brown plans to use the funds to purchase Apple iPads and Pencils to offer her students a digital art class.
The art class was also asked to design an installation piece to be displayed at the entrance. Mrs. Brown shared, " My kids knocked it out of the park! To say I am beyond proud is an understatement." Mrs. Brown and her students had an amazing experience at the event. Mrs. Brown shared, "Thank you to everyone involved with Healing Appalachia! Thank your for this amazing experience and support! It has been an honor to work with these fine folks."
