Our Culinary Arts Management 2 class visited the USC Culinary Medicine and Food Share facility in Columbia, SC. Students learned about the impactful programs which help individuals who use food assistance programs to purchase healthy ingredients to create adventurous meals with whole foods. They also offer an elective course to the USC medical students that equips them to offer more relevant and empathetic advice to patients. This advice assists patients with generating benefits through medicine and food nutrition for stronger outcomes.
It was a thoughtful and powerful session that encouraged self-awareness, personal growth, and leadership development. A special thank you to Camp Creek United Methodist Church ⛪ for generously providing the meal for this event. Your support is truly appreciated.
The Ambush Club dedicated their Tuesday afternoon on November 4th to volunteering with the Greater New Hope Soup Kitchen of Lancaster, a local nonprofit organization. Our mentees assisted with sorting food, cleaning the facility, wrapping items, labeling to-go plates, preparing containers, and contributing meaningful support to the daily operations of the kitchen. It was a wonderful day of service, and we are grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community. A special thank you to Publix Charities for generously providing the meal for this event. Your support is truly appreciated!
Join us tonight for the LCSD Board of Trustees elections at 4:30 p.m. Public Session begins at 7:00pm.
Happy early Thanksgiving from the Ambush Club!
This year, we were honored to partner with Food Lion on Airport Road to host the LCSD Career Center’s annual Thanksgiving Basket Giveaway. Thanks to the generous support of our staff, teachers, and community, we were able to identify students, families, and community members in need, and ensure each one received a complete Thanksgiving meal, including a fresh turkey and all the traditional sides.
On November 14, Career Center Administration and Ambush Club members delivered 30 meals to the Greater New Hope Soup Kitchen to support its mission of serving our local community. On November 15, the Heyward Family delivered the remaining 10 meals to the Girls Home of Lancaster County and to five LCSD Career Center families.
This Thanksgiving effort was truly a community-wide collaboration made possible by our dedicated administration, select teachers and support staff, Ambush Club mentees, and our incredible partners who donated food boxes. A special thank you to Food Lion (Airport Rd. location) for your unwavering support and generosity. Your commitment to our students and community continues to inspire us, and you remain an outstanding example for our youth to follow. Wishing everyone a warm, safe, and joyful holiday season! 🧡🦃✨
Law Enforcement Services students had the privilege of interacting with police officers from the Rock Hill City Police Department on November 6. During the visit, officers discussed key topics including the use of technology in law enforcement, body cameras, community relations, career specialties, and the unique challenges faced in modern policing. Students also had the opportunity to explore the equipment and tools used by patrol officers during their shifts and observe live demonstrations of a felony traffic stop and a domestic disturbance response. Several students even had the chance to participate in the exercises, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Overall, it was an engaging and educational experience that deepened students’ understanding of law enforcement practices. Special thanks to Captain Stinson, Sergeant Andrews, and Sergeant Beach of the Rock Hill Police Department for dedicating their time and expertise to support the LCSD Career Center Law Enforcement program.
