Lowndes High School

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!

🏝️ Ms. Sosa’s and Mr. Meeks' classes took on the island today!
Our students competed in Survivor: Simple Machines Edition to review for their upcoming Six Simple Machines test.
💪 Students worked together in “tribes,” solved mechanical advantage challenges, and raced through obstacle stations to prove their knowledge of levers, pulleys, wedges, and more!
We’re so proud of their teamwork, energy, and effort — every student was a Survivor today! 🌟
🔥 The tribe has spoken… You have a test tomorrow! 🔥

Mrs. Collins’ Lit III students went full “Department of Applied Intelligence” today as they learned real investigative techniques from retired OSI Federal Agent Mr. David Collins. 💼
Using professional case-building strategies, students are analyzing evidence, tracking inconsistencies, and uncovering secrets hidden within Season 1 of the Limetown podcast. 🧠✨
Real-world inquiry meets literary analysis — and the results are 🔥.

Ms. Mitchell's 10th grade ELA classes explored language and theme in songs about the veteran experience in honor of Veterans Day. They created and shared their examples to practice literary analysis skills, and build an understanding of why we celebrate this brave group each year on 11/11.

Happy Veterans Day! Lowndes High’s JROTC cadets were honored to attend the Veterans Day program at Valdosta High, recognizing the service of veterans from across the Lowndes County community.

LHS French students celebrated National French Week last week!! We welcomed our classmates to school on Welcome Wednesday with French music and signs, we made some fun French messages in chalk for all to see, enjoyed some amazing French cuisine cooked by our students themselves AND we even had a few guest "appearances" from some Famous French people! Salut :)

LHS Friends Fur Life is so proud of our incredible club president, Kelsi Gibbs! 🐾💉 Kelsi has a strong interest in veterinary medicine and has been spending her time shadowing and assisting at the Humane Society of Valdosta–Lowndes County clinics. She’s already gaining hands-on experience—attending surgeries like spays, neuters, and even a leg amputation, as well as helping with vaccines and microchipping. 🐶🐱✨

Kelsi’s dedication, compassion, and curiosity are inspiring, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things she’ll accomplish in her future career. 🎓
