LCHS Senior Caden Sweeney Signs Letter of Intent with Shawnee State University!
Caden Sweeney, a senior at LCHS, has officially signed a letter of intent to pursue his education and tennis career at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, KY. Athletic Director, Mr. Thompson, shared some thoughts on Caden's signing with SSU. "We are very proud of you, not only in athletics, but because you are such a good kid. He is a model student. It is not a surprise that you have found success! We have no doubt you have a bright future ahead, and we are pulling for you every step of the way."
LCHS Tennis Coach, Joey McClanahan, shared Caden's dedication and success in the sport. "This is kind of a full circle moment for me. Before COVID, in 2019, I started working with the middle school team and began working with Caden. Through the years, Caden wanted something, and he worked at it. And he kept getting better by devoting more and more time to the sport. He put in the work, and as a famous person once said, 'Take your passion and make it happen.' Caden knew what he wanted and put in the time. He is the perfect example that if you want something in life, you have to go and work at it. No one is going to give you, and Caden made it happen. That is why I am so proud of him! Congrats on everything! You have earned it! And it couldn't have happened to a better kid!"
Caden took a few moments to discuss what this moment meant to him. " First of all, I want to thank everyone for being here. There are a lot of people here, and thank you to everyone for showing up today. I just want to thank Coach Greg, though he sadly couldn't be here, for giving me this opportunity. And of course, the fact that I am going completely free is a blessing as well. I thank God for putting me here."
We wish Caden the very best as he celebrates this amazing milestone toward his academic and athletic pursuits at Shawnee State University! #LCisHome

On Friday, April 10th, the Lawrence County Gifted and Talented Program (GATE grades 4-8) participated in their annual Discovery Day at the Lawrence County Community Center. This is a day of learning and FUN, featuring several activities and special guests.
The morning sessions included the Lawrence County Extension Office, which provided four stations, including their very popular Smoothie Bike. The Lawrence County STLP groups and our Exchange Students presented throughout the morning, along with an art station led by a group from the LCHS Art Department. We also had a couple of very special alumni from Lawrence County join us. Joey Moore, now a Certified Flight Instructor at Marshall University, came to talk about the Aviation Program. Another special guest, Jeremy Webb, the Admissions, Public Relations, and Recruitment Coordinator for the Craft Academy at Morehead State University, spoke with the students about advanced opportunities they may have as Juniors and Seniors in high school. Lastly, the Kentucky Science Center in Louisville, KY, hosted stations facilitated by our LCHS GATE students and ended the day with an explosive science demonstration.
We want to thank all of our facilitators and chaperones for once again making this a wonderful day with great experiences and opportunities for our GATE students. We thank Mrs. McClanahan for organizing this amazing event for our GATE students! Until next year….
