Dr. Rob Brown and BOE Members Mera Turner and Lynn Sylvester accepted the 2019 Leading Edge Award at the Annual GSBA Conference today. Lumpkin County won this award for our design and implementation of a district communications plan which keeps our community informed about school successes and school happenings. LC was one of two counties in the state to win this award for Communications! #TR1BE

March will be here before we know it, and we are excited about our Adult Field Day in Lumpkin County! It's time for you to start forming your teams! Don't delay; join today!

Lumpkin County High School’s Grateful Gathering was truly a day full of fun, fellowship, and delicious food! We had 237 people join us over the course of the two hours. We sent an additional 60 to-go plates out the door to various places, and we took all the leftovers to the LC Sheriff’s Office. We had the superintendent, associate superintendent, all four high school administrators, and countless others serving today! What an amazing #TR1BE! Happy Thanksgiving from LCHS!

Lumpkin County School Nutrition Program is collaborating with UNG & 4-H (Lumpkin Cooperative Extension) to grow produce at Dahlonega's Vickery House Gardens to serve our students in school cafeterias. Our LCSS students involved in 4-H work with UNG students and professors at the gardens twice monthly!
Please support this initiative to raise additional funds for building materials & supplies to get local heirloom veggies & fruits into our Lumpkin school cafeterias! Click on this link for more information: http://ung.imodules.com/s/1863/cf19/interior.aspx?sid=1863&gid=2&pgid=767

We apologize for the inconvenience, but our phones are down at all five schools and the Central Office. The issue has been reported to Windstream.

It's fitting that Kurt Thomas and Radford Windham spent some time in the Zac Brown Booth today! All three (Thomas, Windham, and Brown) graduated from LCHS and spent some time playing music together back in the 90s. Although it's special enough to have Kurt and Radford in the booth, the real star is that guitar! The oldest Martin guitar still in circulation and being played is this 1846 beauty. Thanks, Kurt, for stopping by Cottrell Recording Studio @ Indian Drive today!

Congratulations to all Lumpkin County Schools for winning the BRONZE Golden Radish Award for 2018-19!
