LCHS AP Environmental Science Class Tours AEP/KY Power Big Sandy Power Plant!
On Wednesday, March 18th, students from the LCHS AP Environmental Science class had the opportunity to tour the AEP/KY Power Big Sandy Power Plant, located on Highway 23 just outside Louisa. During the visit, they engaged with the plant's System Manager/Engineer, Wyalt Lewis, and the Plant Environmental Coordinator, Crystal Hubbard. Students gained insights into power generation using liquefied natural gas, power supply management, pricing, grid connections, and the environmental permitting and monitoring necessary for the plant's operation.
Here are some reflections from students regarding their experience at the AEP/KY Power plant:
“I was surprised at how clean the plant was compared to what I imagined a power plant to be. It was so clean on the inside!”
— Chloe Adkins
“I thought it was shocking how few workers there were to operate the plant. It was interesting to see the control room and learn that at least one person was there all the time to monitor energy production.”
— Lauren Conway
“I enjoyed seeing the cameras used to monitor the burners in the boiler room and watching the natural gas burn to produce steam. It was neat to see.”
— Shyanna Lyons
"I was surprised at how small the plant was relative to the amount of electricity produced and the large area that they service."

Lawrence County Family, Due to recent weather cancellations (including just this week), we must adjust our school calendar to meet state requirements. The past two years, the weather has worked against us. Because we had to miss another day this week, and the Kentucky General Assembly has not moved to grant districts calendar relief yet, we will now use the following. Key Calendar Adjustments: Monday, March 30 & Tuesday, March 31: Now in session for students. Tuesday, May 19 (Election Day): No school for students. While new laws allow school during elections even when a building is a polling place, we are keeping buildings closed to students this year on Election Day to ensure their safety. Monday, May 25 (Memorial Day): Schools will remain closed. Friday, May 29: Graduation. Thursday, June 4: Final day of school for students. It is very important that students attend those final days in June to officially complete the year. Our principals and staff are already working to schedule finals, field trips, and awards ceremonies during that last week to keep the end of the year meaningful and engaging. I fully realize there isn't a perfect solution, but sometimes in life there simply isn't one. This plan allows us to protect the majority of Spring Break, have our buildings closed for students on Election Day, and observe Memorial Day. Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we work together to finish the year strong. Here is to better weather ahead! Katie Webb, Lawrence County Superintendent
LCHS HOSA's Commitment to Community!
The LCHS HOSA group, known as the LCHSStoptheDrugs Community Awareness group, is dedicated to encouraging and promoting positive growth within our community. Recently, the student members organized a bake sale during the LCHS College Fair & Higher Education Expo on Thursday, March 12th. LCHS HOSA representative, Preslie Laney, expressed gratitude for earning $1003.00 by stating, “We would like to thank everyone sincerely! We are grateful for the support and contributions of all who donated to our cause.”
On Monday, March 16th, HOSA members had the opportunity to meet with the directors and staff of the Ramey Estep ReGroup in Rush, KY, where they donated $1,003.00 to support the group's mission of hope and recovery. This generous contribution will benefit outpatient substance abuse therapies and an extracurricular fund. The extracurricular fund helps to promote activities for underprivileged youth. It will help to cover fees for youth football programs, YMCA memberships, attendance at Camp Webb, and more! Mrs. Adams, the LCHS HOSA sponsor, shared her pride, saying, “I am so incredibly proud of my students. They have such a willingness to work and a heart for helping others!"

Update on the 2025-2026 School Calendar
We want to share an important calendar update regarding the remainder of our school year. Due to recent missed days, our current last day of school for students is now Friday, June 5. We are closely watching two school calendar requirement bills in the General Assembly, HB 635 and HB 631, which could offer some relief; however, neither has passed yet. If we miss any more school days and the state does not grant relief, we will use the first two days of Spring Break, Monday, March 30th and Tuesday, March 31st, as makeup days for students. If these new laws are passed, we will work with the state to make adjustments to our calendar to end the year a few days earlier. As a reminder, there will be no school for students on May 19 (Election Day and professional development day for staff) or May 25 (Memorial Day). We will keep our Lawrence County families and staff updated as soon as we have more information.
