This week's visits gave us a little bit of everything!
At Rock Springs Elementary, the hallways were busy — and kindergarten was celebrating Yellow Day! We caught the morning arrival in the bus lot at St. James Elementary, peeked into classrooms at Pumpkin Center Primary, and stopped by the band room at North Lincoln Middle School to see students making music.
Different schools, different moments, but all part of a week of learning across Lincoln County Schools!

From the classroom to the field, there’s always something happening across LCS!
Today, we stopped by Love Memorial Elementary to catch students on the move in PE before heading to Lincoln County School of Technology to see students learning and working in their classes.
And we’re throwing it back to Friday night, when West Lincoln and North Lincoln met on the football field. At halftime, the two bands came together to play — a great reminder that even when our schools are competitors, we’re still one LCS community.
Learning, moving, creating, competing and coming together — all part of a week in Lincoln County Schools!

Last week’s visits took us behind the scenes to see some of the hardworking staff who keep our schools running each day!
In our Technology Services Department, staff were busy receiving and processing Chromebook shipments while also answering help-desk calls and providing support across the district.
We also stopped by the cafeterias at West Lincoln Middle School and Norris S. Childers Elementary, where our Child Nutrition teams were hard at work serving students. And at Childers, we had to check out the new cafeteria mural, adding a little extra school spirit to the space!
So much happens beyond the classroom each day to support our students, and we’re grateful to the people who make it happen.

Second period is already building connections at LCST!
Students in Nursing Fundamentals spent some time getting to know their classmates as they begin a year of learning, teamwork, and hands-on experiences that will prepare them for the world of healthcare.

Yesterday marked an exciting new chapter at St. James Elementary School!
Members of the Lincoln County Board of Education, Central Services leadership, county leadership, former St. James administrators, current staff, and project partners gathered for a ribbon-cutting and dedication celebrating the completion of several major improvements to the school.
During the ceremony, special recognition was given to the St. James staff for their flexibility and patience as they taught and worked through construction throughout last school year. The school’s custodial team was also thanked for the tremendous work they put into preparing the expanded and renovated building for the start of a new year.
Representatives from Beam Construction and Holland & Hamrick Architects joined the celebration and were thanked for their partnership in bringing the project to life.
Principal Jennifer Carroll officially cut the ribbon before guests walked the halls to see the improvements firsthand, including 10 new classrooms, an expanded cafeteria, new parking areas, additional office spaces, and other updates throughout the campus.
The construction is finished. The classrooms are ready. And most importantly, the St. James teachers and staff are ready to welcome students and begin another great year!
We are grateful to everyone who invested in the future of St. James Elementary and the students who will learn and grow within these walls for years to come.
