Today, Thursday, February 22nd, LCHS proudly hosted the ABA2 Regional Network Meeting! LCHS juniors, Caroline See and Dakota Thornsbury, our current public relations apprentices, welcomed attendees and provided an extensive overview of our program.
The ABA2 program aims to develop, expand, and diversify Registered Apprenticeship Programs. Currently, 31 students at LCHS are enrolled in this initiative, gaining valuable real-world work experience. Through this program, students can acquire essential job skills, enhance communication skills, and improve social interaction in a professional environment. Participants can build confidence, manage tasks effectively, and boost long-term employability.
Mr. Sparks, the LCHS Career Support Specialist, is committed to ensuring our students have access to apprenticeship opportunities. Mr. Sparks shared, "It was an honor to host the ABA2 Regional Network Meeting with our local participating schools. Our public affairs apprentices did an excellent job of highlighting our program here in Lawrence County. It's inspiring to witness the successes we're achieving and to have the opportunity to collaborate with other schools in this initiative."
The ABA2 program is instrumental in providing career readiness and equipping our LCHS students for future success! #LCisHome

Louisa East Elementary Basketball Spotlight!
Louisa East Elementary School's boys' basketball teams for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades recently traveled to Lexington, KY, to participate in the KY Elementary State Basketball Tournament! This exciting event featured 37 teams from across the state competing to bring home a championship title to their hometowns.
We congratulate Louisa East's 3rd-grade basketball team for clinching the state championship! Their tournament journey began on Saturday, when they first defeated the Christian Academy of Louisville. They then defeated Russell County, securing the #1 seed in their tournament bracket. In the first round of the tournament, the team defeated Owsley County 18-10. This victory set the stage for a rematch against the Christian Academy of Louisville in the championship game. The Bulldogs raced ahead and maintained their lead, ultimately winning the game 20-7! Throughout the tournament, the team outscored its opponents 64-29. Again, congratulations to the LEES 3rd-grade team for bringing home the state championship title home to Louisa!
The Louisa East 4th-grade basketball team delivered an impressive performance, finishing the state tournament with a 3-1 record! They narrowly lost by just 2 points in the semifinal match. Over the course of the tournament, they outscored their opponents 109-81.
The Louisa East 5th-grade team excelled at the state basketball tournament, posting a 4-1 record and earning the state runner-up title. They dominated their opponents with an impressive overall score of 219-128.
We are truly proud of the dedication and effort displayed by the three LEES grade-level basketball teams! A big thank you goes out to our student-athletes and coaches for their hard work and dedication to this athletic program! #LCisHome
