On Friday, April 10th, the Lawrence County Gifted and Talented Program (GATE grades 4-8) participated in their annual Discovery Day at the Lawrence County Community Center. This is a day of learning and FUN, featuring several activities and special guests.
The morning sessions included the Lawrence County Extension Office, which provided four stations, including their very popular Smoothie Bike. The Lawrence County STLP groups and our Exchange Students presented throughout the morning, along with an art station led by a group from the LCHS Art Department. We also had a couple of very special alumni from Lawrence County join us. Joey Moore, now a Certified Flight Instructor at Marshall University, came to talk about the Aviation Program. Another special guest, Jeremy Webb, the Admissions, Public Relations, and Recruitment Coordinator for the Craft Academy at Morehead State University, spoke with the students about advanced opportunities they may have as Juniors and Seniors in high school. Lastly, the Kentucky Science Center in Louisville, KY, hosted stations facilitated by our LCHS GATE students and ended the day with an explosive science demonstration.
We want to thank all of our facilitators and chaperones for once again making this a wonderful day with great experiences and opportunities for our GATE students. We thank Mrs. McClanahan for organizing this amazing event for our GATE students! Until next year….

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
The Lawrence County Board of Education has officially approved the calendar for the 2026-2027 school year! The first day of school for students is set for Wednesday, August 12th, 2026! #LCisHome
Lawrence County Schools will be on a regular schedule today, Wednesday, March 18. Bus routes have been rechecked this morning and are good to go.
