📚🦌 Biology in Action!
Our biology students took learning outdoors with a hands-on game of “Oh, Deer!” to explore population dynamics. They modeled how resources and predators—like wolves—affect deer populations over time. Back in the classroom, students graphed their data to visualize how ecosystems change.

Science is always better when you can see it come to life! 🌿📊

🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Scruggs' Accounting Students! 🎉

A huge shoutout to the incredible students in Mrs. Scruggs' class for successfully completing the Business Accounting Pathway and passing their End of Pathway Assessment! 📊📚 Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence have truly paid off.

We are SO proud of you all—this is just the beginning of your bright futures! ✨💼

Mrs. Nelson’s 4th block Interior Design class has been hard at work getting the Santa Claus room ready for Shop With A Viking! From organizing to decorating, they’re bringing the holiday spirit to life. We can’t wait to see the final result! 🎅🎄

LHS Biology students took their learning outside before Thanksgiving break! 🌿 They raced through a relay game that modeled how energy is lost at each trophic level in a food chain. A fun way to bring food chains to life! 🌱🦌🦅

As we head into the Thanksgiving break, our Viking family at Lowndes High School wants to extend warm wishes to all of our students and their families. The holiday season is a time of gratitude and connection, but we also understand it can bring challenges for some in our community.

To support any families who may be looking for assistance, we’d like to highlight a resource that can make finding help a little easier. Hope Map Georgia (https://hopemapgeorgia.org/), created by the Georgia Department of Education, is a free online tool that allows Georgia residents to search for community support based on their location.

Through the interactive map, users can find nearby services such as food assistance, housing and shelter, childcare options, healthcare providers, financial support programs, and grocery access. The site is available in multiple languages and is designed to be simple to navigate for all families.

If you or someone you know could use support during the holidays, we encourage you to take a look at this resource. Our LHS counselors and administrators are also here to help connect families with information as needed.

We hope you enjoy a safe, restful, and meaningful Thanksgiving break.

In observance of World Kindness Day (November 13th), students in Ms. Smith’s Life Skills class took part in a meaningful community service project. Over the past month, they designed, pressed, and sold custom magnets in the Crimson Café. Thanks to the incredible support from LHS staff and students, we were proud to present L.A.M.P. with a $100 donation! ❤️🤝 #WorldKindnessDay

Graphic Design student Keona Graham is helping bring this year’s Voyage publication to life with her sports spread design. We appreciate your creativity and hard work, Keona! 👏🖥️✨

Mrs. Nelson’s Fashion Design students are giving discarded denim a second life! ♻️👖
From lace inserts in jackets and split-leg jeans to denim bell sleeves on a kimono top, these Vikings are showing off both creativity and skill. We love seeing their designs—and their confidence—shine! ✨

Teaching financial literacy one move at a time! 💵💰 GCEE’s Creditland game was a hit with Mrs. Steel’s, Mrs. Aldridge’s & Coach Guilliams’ students! Students learn about what behaviors positively and negatively impact credit scores, and how credit scores in turn impact interest rates on everyday loans.

Lowndes Vikings wore green yesterday in support of Homeless Youth Awareness Week 💚 Thank you to our students, staff, and community for helping shine a light on the fight to end student homelessness. #VikingPride

Mrs. Voigt's Environmental Science juniors and seniors took on the challenge of cleaning up an "oil spill" recently as part of their Aquatic Biomes unit. Students experimented with different materials to simulate real-world oil spill cleanup techniques and explored how water pollution impacts aquatic ecosystems.
From skimming oil off the surface to absorbing and containing it, students got hands-on experience with the methods scientists use to protect waterways and wildlife. A fun and eye-opening lesson in environmental stewardship for our Vikings!

Viking Family!

Congratulations to these Viking Athletes!
This morning, a special ceremony was held for Lowndes High School Special Olympics Athletes to receive their hard-earned letterman jackets. Student athlete peers were proud to present the jackets. Way to go, Vikings!

Mrs. Voigt's Ecology class recently completed a hands-on genetics activity titled Candy Creations: Protein Synthesis. Students constructed DNA sequences and modeled transcription and translation using candy to deepen their understanding of the central dogma of biology. This engaging learning experience brought complex concepts to life in a memorable way.

Viking Family,

This week, November 17–21, LCS is observing Homeless Youth Awareness Week to shine a light on student homelessness and the power of compassion and courage.

On Wednesday, November 19, we invite all staff and students to “Go Green for Good.”
Wearing green is a simple, visible way to help raise awareness of the challenges many of our students face. Last year, more than 275 LCS students qualified for services under the McKinney-Vento Act, living in shelters, motels, cars, or doubled-up housing.

This campaign is our chance to say loud and clear: No student facing hardships walks alone.

Thank you for joining us in this important effort!

This past weekend Mrs. Yancey had the honor of presenting a professional learning opportunity through a workshop to art teachers on the implementation of sketchbooks in the classroom at the Ga Art Education Association Conference. Her workshop was highly attended and she was excited to share how sketchbooks can boost artistic expression and support literacy in the classroom. The conference was hosted by Young Harris College and attended by 300 art teachers from across the state of Georgia.

LHS Archers and JROTC Cadets teamed up this weekend and shot in tournaments together at Hahira Middle and Brooks County High.

Our Driver’s Education students have officially pledged to Keep Georgia Safe by saying NO to Distracted Driving. 🚘📵 Proud of these Vikings for making responsible choices on the road!
