New LCHS Teachers & Staff! Ms. Linda Howard is a LBD teacher with LCHS. She currently resides in Johnson County. The last seven years she has worked in the mental health field, mainly with addiction. She is currently pursuing two components in the MAT program, Special Education along with a Social Studies degree. The deciding factor for a career change and decision to become a teacher, was seeing the outcome of those with a poor education. Ms. Howard states, “Many of my past clients were pushed through a school system, not learning to read or write. These basic life skills are needed to succeed in life, therefore the lack there of continues the generational poverty that seems to affect many Eastern Kentucky families. I will strive daily to help my students build the confidence they need to not only learn but inspire to become productive citizens.” Ms. Linda Young and Ms. Melanie Zirkle are new cooks and bakers at the LCHS. We are excited they have joined the Lawrence County team! We appreciate all their work and dedication to our students at LCHS.

K4C Construction Career Fair at Shelbyville, KY, Sept 20th, 2022 The LCHS construction, heavy equipment, and welding classes had 75+ students attend the K4C Construction Career Fair held in Shelbyville, KY on September 20th, 2022. The K4C Career Fair is held over a two-day period at the Shelby County Fairgrounds. The event welcomes over 2,500 vocational and technical students throughout Kentucky. The LCHS students spent the day touring and talking to career vendors from various trade unions. There were auto manufacturers, various high wire and electrical companies, and water treatment plant professionals available to talk with students. Students had opportunities to run equipment, including excavators, backhoes, skid steers, and even a remote-control dozer with a trailer. They were also able to experience most forms of construction. These forms included masonry, excavation, road building, concrete walls, and bridges. It was definitely a great day for the LCHS students to explore, experience, and connect to the many career possibilities available throughout Kentucky and beyond.
