We want to wish our LC Central Office Accounts Manager/Accounts Payable Clerk, Mrs. Kim Adkins, the very best as she begins her retirement! We thank her for the many years of commitment and dedication she has given to LC Schools. All of the hard work has definitely not gone unnoticed!
Mrs. Kim reflected on her career by sharing, "40 years of my life have been spent inside of an LC School District building either as a student or staff member.
"It has been a great honor to serve the students, faculty, and staff of Lawrence County Schools for 27 years. During that time, I have held several different positions. I have truly enjoyed each role, the experiences, and the people that came with them.
"I sincerely appreciate the trust, support, and opportunities I have been given throughout my career. As my career comes to a close, I pray for the continued success and growth of our community, but most of all, our children of LC. That red-and-black tradition runs deep in our veins. Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog! Go Dawgs!!"
We thank you, Mrs. Kim, for the years of outstanding service and commitment! Your contributions have made a lasting impact on our schools and the central office team! Best wishes for a long, relaxing, and well-deserved retirement! You will be missed! #LCisHome

Mrs. Gollihue shares with a laugh, “When I was in school, I often felt out of place and like I didn’t belong. I want our students to understand that they do belong here and that it’s perfectly fine to be different. And I also want them to experience fun as they learn!”
We appreciate Mrs. Gollihue’s creativity and adventurous spirit that she brings to BES every Friday morning! She acknowledges that crafting these costumes can be a lot of work, but she believes it’s all worthwhile when she sees the joy and smiles on students' faces.

Ms. Ward came to LC Schools in October 2014. She began her work at LC Schools as the guidance counselor at Blaine Elementary School. She shares, "At the beginning of the 2018-2019 School year, I had the opportunity to move to Louisa West. In May of 2021, I was given the opportunity to move to Louisa Middle School. Throughout my time in Lawrence County, I have had the privilege of working in several schools, each with its own unique culture, yet all united by a common purpose—doing what is best for kids. No matter the building, the mission remained the same: to support, guide, and uplift every student who walked through our doors."
"One belief has always guided my work: to treat every child the way I would want my own children to be treated—or even better. Our students deserve compassion, respect, patience, and unwavering support, and I have been proud to work alongside colleagues who share that same commitment each and every day.
"After 12 rewarding years as a Guidance Counselor with Lawrence County Schools, I am announcing my retirement with a full heart and deep gratitude. Serving the students, families, and staff of this community has been one of the greatest honors of my professional life.
"Throughout my time here, I have had the privilege of supporting students through some of their most important and challenging moments—helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Watching students discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and move forward with confidence has been truly inspiring and remains the most meaningful part of my career.
"I am especially thankful for the relationships built along the way. The collaboration with dedicated educators, supportive families, and hardworking students has made each day purposeful and fulfilling. Together, we have worked to create a positive and supportive environment where all students can succeed.
"As I step into this next chapter, I carry with me many cherished memories and a lasting appreciation for the Lawrence County community. I am proud of the work we have accomplished and confident that the future will continue to be bright for the students we serve. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this journey. "
We thank Ms. Ward for her many years of dedication to the students at LC Schools. You have provided students the courage to believe in themselves and the tools to navigate through life's challenges. Thank you for helping students find their path. Enjoy this wonderful next chapter! Happy retirement! #LCisHome
