Our hearts (and stomachs) are so full after an unforgettable Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎 From Mindful Monday yoga sessions to Squad Goal Fridays, our community truly rolled out the red carpet for us.
Whether we were pouring custom candles, dodging "spies" in the hallway, or enjoying a full spread of food trucks and "anything but a cup" festivities, every single detail made us feel incredibly special.
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing admin, student clubs, fine arts departments, and athletic teams for spoiling us rotten. We are so lucky to teach in a place that pours as much love into us as we do into our students!

Today, we’re celebrating our incredible school nurses and the difference they make in the lives of our students every single day!
From caring for scraped knees to managing serious medical needs, these healthcare professionals are a vital part of the #OneLowndes family. And out of all the places they could have practiced, they chose our schools.
Take a look at why they chose to serve, support, and care for students right here in Lowndes County Schools! 🩺

We are beyond thrilled to announce that Amy Whitehead has been named the LHS Teacher of the Year! 🏆
If you’ve spent any time in the math wing, on the soccer field, or even scrolling through TikTok, you know exactly why Amy represents the heart of our school. She doesn’t just teach equations; she builds a community where every student feels seen, valued, and capable of success.
"Amy is the person who will stand beside you when things are difficult, but she is also the friend who will gently challenge you to grow."

The Change of Command ceremony is a time-honored military tradition where the outgoing Commander "relinquishes" command and the incoming Commander "assumes" command. The presiding officer (the Commander that is superior in the chain of command) oversees the ceremony and makes it official by transferring the units guidon (flag) from one Commander to the other. We follow suit with this tradition every year by Colonel Weyand being the presiding officer overseeing the transfer of command from a Senior to a Junior. Last week, our Change of Command showcased Cadet Colonel Ethan Powell relinquishing command to Cadet Colonel Matthew Youmans.
LHS HOSA and FBLA students made sure our bus drivers felt the love with water and chips for the road. Thanks for all the miles you go for us!
By passing their End of Course Test, these students have demonstrated a deep understanding of business strategy, innovation, and leadership. We can't wait to see the ventures they launch next! 🚀
