Last week, students from East Lincoln High School and West Lincoln High School attended the FCCLA Fall Leadership Conference at AB Tech in Asheville! 🔴⭐️
Throughout the day, students learned about upcoming competitive events, explored ideas for community service projects, and pledged their support for a statewide leadership service initiative. 💡🤝
East Lincoln High School students also put their skills to the test, competing in the Career Clusters STAR Events—including both a written test and a case study. And we couldn’t be prouder… they earned on-stage recognition in Education & Training, Human Services, and Hospitality & Tourism! 🎉👏
Congratulations to all of our Mustangs and Rebels for representing Lincoln County Schools with leadership, curiosity, and excellence. 💚❤️🖤

At Lincolnton Middle School, Ms. Christopher’s ELA students are diving into powerful themes of perseverance and activism as part of their diversity unit. 📚✨
Today, students explored the global impact of Greta Thunberg through a partner gallery walk—learning how her determination sparked worldwide conversations about climate action. 🌍💬
Afterward, students reflected on one important takeaway: you’re never too young to make a difference. 🙌
We love seeing our Wildcats grow as thinkers, leaders, and changemakers! 💛🖤 #WeAreLINCOLN #LMSWildcats #FutureLeaders

The weather forecast for this winter is getting interesting! 🌧️❄️
As we keep an eye on the conditions each day, here’s a quick reminder about how official communication works in Lincoln County Schools:
❌ Not Official Sources:
• Community Facebook groups
• A friend-of-a-friend who “heard something”
• Random weather rumors or social media guesses
✅ Official LCS Sources:
• LCSNC App Alerts (texts, calls, and emails)
• LCS Website: Lincoln.k12.nc.us
• Official LCS Social Media Accounts
• School Principals & Administrators
We make sure families and staff hear directly from us first.
If it didn’t come from LCS, it isn’t official.
Stay warm, stay safe, and stay tuned, Lincoln County! ❤️🖤 #WeAreLINCOLN

✨ Flashback Friday! ✨
Today we’re celebrating Mrs. Chrissie Bess Redding — once a student in Lincoln County Schools, now a valued staff member at West Lincoln High School!
📚 Mrs. Redding attended North Brook Elementary, West Middle, and West High. She remembers her 10th grade English teacher, Mrs. Drum, as a favorite because she cared enough to have meaningful, honest conversations.
🎓 Now, Mrs. Redding serves as the registrar in the counseling department at WLHS. She has also worked as a substitute teacher and cafeteria staff at North Brook. She shares, “Our team in counseling is amazing! We work so well together as we support and take care of our students.”
💙 We’re so grateful for Mrs. Redding’s dedication to our students and community. Once a Rebel, always a Rebel!

🎥✨ The LCS Paparazzi caught something special today!
A few school buses were spotted outside Carolina Steak & Rib… and you’ll never guess who stepped out in style — our St. James Elementary kindergarteners!
These young stars enjoyed a fancy lunch as part of their magical field trip to see Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. 🎄
What a memorable day for our littlest learners! 💛🚌✨

🌟 November is Career Development Month! 🌟
Governor Josh Stein has proclaimed November as Career Development Month and Career Development Coordinator Day on November 19 — a perfect opportunity to highlight the amazing staff helping students connect their dreams to real opportunities!
🎓 Meet Cassie Pennington – East Lincoln High School
Cassie loves watching students discover career paths that excite them — especially when they start setting goals and taking steps toward their future plans. “High school is about exploring,” she says. “Try new classes, job shadow, and learn from every experience — even the ones that help you realize what’s not for you!”
One of Cassie’s favorite career resources? Job shadowing! Each February, East Lincoln students have a chance to spend a day exploring a career they’re interested in. Seeing a job in action often brings classroom learning to life!
💬 Fun fact: Cassie loves going to concerts and even worked as a manager at the Legends venue at Appalachian State during college!
💼 First job: Coaching recreational gymnastics and tumbling for $7.25 an hour — and she still works there today!
💍 Dream job: Owning and operating an event or wedding venue.
Thank you, Cassie, for helping East Lincoln students turn curiosity into career confidence!
