Our future educators were on the move yesterday!
Many of our Lincoln County Schools Teacher Cadets attended the Southwest Aspiring Educator Summit at UNC Charlotte, spending the day learning, connecting, and exploring the many opportunities available in the field of education.
LCS was well represented throughout the summit! Several of our staff members led breakout sessions, sharing their knowledge and experiences with aspiring educators from across the region. We were also proud to see a Lincolnton High School graduate, now a junior at UNC Charlotte, participate in a panel and share their perspective with the next generation of educators.
From current Teacher Cadets to college students to experienced educators, it was exciting to see LCS represented at every stage of the journey into education.

No school for students today, but we sure do miss you, LCS! We can’t wait to see you back in the classroom tomorrow!

On this Parent/Teacher Conference Day, we’re featuring fourth grader Addison Woody from Norris S. Childers Elementary and her dad, Joey Woody, who works in upholstery at Design Foundry.
For Joey, two of the skills he learned in school — math and reading — are still important in the work he does today. And what does he love most about his job?
“I love working with my hands.”
Not every career looks the same, but they all begin with building skills, discovering interests and learning what you’re good at. The lessons students learn today can become the tools they use to create, build and solve problems in the future.
Enjoy your day, students — we miss you, and we’ll see you tomorrow!

Another great week across Lincoln County Schools!
We wrapped up the week with a look at learning, leadership, and school spirit across the district. Students participated in Constitution Day lessons, learning more about the document that helped shape our nation and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
At Lincolnton Middle School, we stopped by Success Lab to see students and staff hard at work, while our assistant principals came together for their monthly meeting to collaborate, learn, and continue strengthening leadership across LCS.
And we finished the week under the Friday night lights as East Lincoln High School hosted North Lincoln High School for East’s first home football game of the season. It was great to see our students, staff, families, and community come together for a night of Mustang and Knight spirit!
From classrooms to leadership meetings to the football field, it was another busy week of learning, connecting, and supporting students across LCS.

Today, we’re featuring G. E. Massey Elementary students Keith and Gianni Poston and their dad, Keith Poston, Executive Director of Hesed House of Hope in Lincolnton.
When Keith thinks about how school prepared him for the work he does today, he doesn’t first think about a class or textbook. He thinks about people.
“I was fortunate to have teachers and coaches who taught me lessons that reached far beyond the classroom or the field. They showed me the power of building genuine relationships, the importance of providing guidance, and the impact that mentoring can have on a person’s life.”
They also taught him perseverance — a lesson that continues to guide him today.
“When you believe in something, you stay committed to it even when obstacles arise and the path becomes difficult. You keep showing up. You keep working. You keep believing that what you are doing can make a difference.”
Now, Keith has the opportunity to do for others what those educators once did for him — walk alongside people, encourage them through difficult moments and help them recognize what is possible.
The impact of showing up for school reaches far beyond academics. It’s also about the teachers, coaches, mentors, friendships and experiences that help shape who our students become.
Keep showing up. You never know which person, lesson or experience will change your path.

Finally Friday, LCS! We’ve made it to the end of another great week of learning!
BE HERE to GET HERE.
Today, we’re featuring fifth grader Madison Allen from Catawba Springs Elementary and her dad, Dustin Allen, a Chief Operating Officer.
For Dustin, school helped build something that has stayed with him throughout his career: a strong work ethic and good habits.
Those habits now help him lead an organization whose work makes a difference in the lives of others.
“What I love most about my job is being able to help others who otherwise would not be able to afford their medicine. My position allows me the autonomy and freedom to enact change on a statewide scale, and for that I am fortunate and take great care in the responsibility given to me.”
Showing up consistently builds more than academic knowledge. It builds habits, responsibility and a work ethic that students can carry with them wherever their future takes them.
Finish the week strong, LCS! Being HERE today is helping you GET THERE tomorrow.

Today, Lincoln County Schools joined schools across the nation in recognizing Constitution Day!
Classrooms across LCS participated in lessons focused on the U.S. Constitution, helping students learn more about the document that established the framework of our government and the rights and responsibilities of American citizens.
These photos highlight Constitution Day learning at Asbury Academy, North Lincoln Middle, North Brook Elementary, and Iron Station Elementary.
At Iron Station, third graders took their learning a step further by participating in a living history program presented by members of the Catawba Valley Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. In addition to learning about the Constitution, students explored the history of the American Revolution and Lincoln County's role in our nation's story.
From elementary classrooms to our secondary schools, Constitution Day provided an opportunity for students to connect history, citizenship, and the lessons of the past to the world they live in today.

Creativity in progress!
As we celebrate Arts in Education Week, we’re sharing a look at several works of art taking shape in classrooms across Lincoln County Schools.
These pieces may not be finished yet, but each one already tells a story of imagination, effort, experimentation, and learning. Every sketch, layer, detail, and decision is part of the creative process.
We can’t wait to see where these works in progress go next!

There’s much more to being an Athletic Director than what you see on game night.
During Interscholastic Athletic Administrator Week, September 14–18, we recognize and thank our eight Lincoln County Schools Athletic Directors who work behind the scenes to create opportunities for students to participate, compete, grow, and succeed.
Our Athletic Directors lead programs and support coaches while building a culture of sportsmanship, teamwork, accountability, and excellence. They manage schedules, coordinate transportation, oversee budgets, maintain facilities and fields, ensure compliance with athletic regulations, and communicate with families, coaches, administrators, officials, and community partners.
And when game day arrives, their work is far from finished. They coordinate officials, staffing, facilities, security, and countless other details that spectators may never see.
Perhaps most importantly, they handle the unexpected—often solving problems before anyone else even knows there was a problem.
Through all of these responsibilities, our Athletic Directors keep the focus where it belongs: on students. Interscholastic athletics is about much more than wins and losses. It is another opportunity to educate young people, build character, develop leadership, and create a sense of belonging.
Thank you to our eight LCS Athletic Directors for the time, energy, leadership, and countless behind-the-scenes hours you invest in our student-athletes, coaches, schools, and communities.
Happy Interscholastic Athletic Administrator Week!

Today, we’re featuring fourth grader Tenley Carpenter from Love Memorial Elementary and her dad, Tyler Carpenter, a mechanical engineer and owner of TyCa Industries.
For Tyler, the things he learned in school became the foundation for the work he does today.
“School, including college, gave me the technical foundation to understand materials, structures, manufacturing processes, CAD, hydraulics, electrical systems and mechanical design — all things that come up regularly in running a fabrication company.”
And what does he enjoy most about his career?
“No two days are the same, and building a business is fun...most of the time.”
The math problem, science lesson or new skill a student works on today could become something they use to design, build, create or lead in the future.
Keep going, LCS! Every day you’re HERE is helping you GET THERE.

Some students create with a paintbrush. Others create with their voices and instruments.
As we continue celebrating Arts in Education Week, we’re highlighting the vocal and instrumental arts across Lincoln County Schools.
In chorus rooms, band classes, and on the marching field, students are learning much more than notes, rhythms, and technique. They’re learning to listen to one another, work as a team, practice with purpose, and understand how their individual part contributes to something bigger.
Whether it’s voices coming together in harmony, instruments filling a concert hall, or a marching band bringing music and movement to the field, the arts give our students a place to perform, connect, and shine.
We’re proud of the talented students and dedicated educators who keep the music playing across LCS!

Art doesn’t begin with the finished product. It begins with an idea.
During Arts in Education Week, we’re taking a look at creativity in progress across Lincoln County Schools. From the first sketch and brushstroke to experimenting with color, texture, and technique, our students are learning that creating art is a process.
Along the way, they’re making choices, solving problems, taking risks, and turning their ideas into something uniquely their own.
Sometimes the best part of art is watching it come to life.

Good morning, LCS! Welcome to a great week of school!
BE HERE to GET HERE.
We’re starting our Monday with seventh grader Savanna Queen from East Lincoln Middle and her mom, Roxanna Queen, a third-grade teacher at Pumpkin Center Intermediate.
For Roxanna, being in school helped her discover not only the skills she would need for her career, but also what she was passionate about.
“School prepared me for my job by teaching me how to work with others, communicate, and be part of a team. It also gave me opportunities to explore different subjects and interests, which helped me discover what I was passionate about and ultimately led me to teaching.”
Today, she gets to help her own students discover their strengths while building confidence and resilience.
“I love seeing the moment when a student finally understands a challenging math problem, advocates for themselves with friends, or chooses not to give up when something gets hard.”
Every day at school brings another opportunity to learn something new, discover a passion, overcome a challenge or find a path for the future.
A new week means five more days of opportunities. Let’s make them count!
