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!

The LCHS Advanced Placement Environmental (APES) Science class recently learned about biomes through fun activities, such as Dress as Your Biome Day and Biome Speed Dating. Biomes are geographic regions characterized by specific climates, plants, and animal life. Each APES student chose a biome to represent. During the speed-dating round, the "biomes" exchanged information in a 1-minute, 30-second time frame, focusing on the most important aspects of their biome. At the end, the class voted for the biome they thought was the best represented. Senior, Kelsey Vance, representing the Savanna Biome, was selected as the winner! The biome costumes were fantastic, and all students represented the biomes well!
LC Schools wishes our students, staff, and their families a Happy Thanksgiving Break! We hope this Thanksgiving will be filled with joy and gratitude!
*School will be closed the week of November 24-28, 2025, to observe Thanksgiving.
*School will resume on Monday, December 1st!
