New Assistant Principal Mark Bonda is getting settled into his new office at the Career Center! Welcome to the Phoenix Family!




LCSD Career Center is now on the map at the state and national level of SkillsUSA! Congratulations to Landyn Filliben for bringing home the gold medal for the SkillsUSA National Firefighting competition held in Atlanta, GA. We'd also like to congratulate Natalya King for placing 4th in the nation in the SkillsUSA Early Childhood Education competition.



Natalya represented the Career Center and Mrs. Cooper well during the debriefing session of her competition. And, when you work hard you get to play hard. #SkillsUSA











Landyn is in his element during the National SkillsUSA competition. You've got this Landyn! The evening concluded with fireworks sponsored by SkillsUSA.

Who says you can't have fun and work at the same time? Mr. Miller, Mrs. Taylor, and Ms. Gloria work to move some furniture the last week of school!





Our faculty and staff enjoyed a wonderful end of the year meal. On the menu was a baked potato bar, salad bar, Boston butt, and sundae bar! This was a time of celebration as we finished the year strong and recognized our retirees and substitutes. The time of food and fellowship was a great way to unwind at the end of the year!
