Lumpkin County High

According to students, Yearbook Day 2024 “ate”! Editors Maggie Bearden (11), Breanna Donahue (11), Isaac Parker (12), and Phoebe Smith (11) created the theme “Are You Ready For It?” last May. LCHS students exceeded expectations in academics, arts, sports, vocational studies, and clubs the previous year, so this year’s theme was a direct challenge to students to repeat those successes, and they delivered. The neon colors and psychedelic design juxtaposed with the formal serif font symbolize the chaotic, but focused and determined nature of our students.

We will be live-streaming our Class of 2024 Graduation Ceremony beginning at 7:00 PM this evening. To watch online, go to: www.youtube.com/lumpkincountyschools #TR1BE

Thank you to Jesse Turk FP-C who is a flight paramedic with Phoenix Air. Jesse spent the day in healthcare classes teaching them about the Respiratory System and the life saving measures they perform in his profession.
