Lumpkin County High

Teaching as a Profession students have spent the past week contemplating their meeting with the FCCLA Executive Director and state officers where they discussed the importance of giving back to their community. More than 63 FCCLA members put their heads together and decided to put together a new initiative at LCHS. They are now operating Tribe Tours. Tribe Tours will provide every student who enrolls at LCHS a personal tour of the school with an FCCLA representative. FCCLA looks forward to serving their newest members of the tribe this school year.

Great News! The SAT/ACT Prep Class is BACK! The sessions will begin on September 1st. It is FREE and includes sessions in English and Math each week.

Attention Senior Class Parents: The Senior Class Meeting will be August 24 at 6 PM in the Auditorium.

The impacts of the pandemic on manufacturing didn't spare the textbook industry. LCSS went through the textbook review and adoption process last school year for our Social Studies textbooks at LCHS. Due to manufacturing issues, the available editions are different than the editions we reviewed. Because of this, we are opening up the two-week review process for the following three textbooks: World History, American Government, and US History. These three textbooks will be on display for public review starting today (August 20th) through Thursday, September 3rd. To review these textbooks and provide input to our LCSS Curriculum Department, please visit the LC District Office between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM.
