Lexington High School

This week, we celebrate our school counselors! We think our counseling group at LHS is the best, and we are thankful for their support, guidance, and encouragement to our students through every part of their high school career.

From: Director of HCS
RE: School Closure

Henderson County Schools will remain closed on Monday, February 2nd, and Tuesday, February 3rd. While conditions across the district are gradually improving, they have not yet reached a level that allows the safe resumption of normal school operations. In addition, our area will be under a Severe Weather Advisory this weekend due to dangerously cold wind chills, which are expected to refreeze roadways and walking surfaces.

We encourage all families and staff to continue exercising caution, limit travel when possible, and remain mindful of hazardous conditions that may persist. District personnel will continue to closely monitor weather forecasts and road conditions and will evaluate our readiness to reopen schools as soon as it is safe to do so.

We truly miss having our students in our classrooms and cannot wait to welcome them back. As always, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our highest priority, and we sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and support.

Weather Communication from HCS: Henderson County Schools will be closed this week, Monday, January 26, through Friday, January 30. Our county and the state are presently under a State of Emergency proclamation due to the winter storm we experienced and its ongoing aftermath. Hazardous travel conditions and continued safety concerns exist across our district, making this closure necessary to protect students, staff, and families. We encourage everyone to take appropriate precautions during this time, limit travel when possible, and remain mindful of hazardous weather conditions. During this challenging time, we ask our school community to keep one another in their thoughts and prayers. As always, our priority is the safety and well-being of those we serve, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Henderson County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 26, and Tuesday, January 27th due to an anticipated winter storm forecast by the National Weather Service and extreme cold through Tuesday morning. Based on current information, weather conditions are expected to create potentially hazardous travel and safety concerns across our district.
We will continue to monitor weather updates closely and will communicate any additional information as it becomes available. Please take appropriate precautions during this time, and we encourage everyone to stay safe and stay warm.

Mrs. Terri Dewald’s U.S. Government class recently practiced running for political office! Students learned the qualifications for each office, developed campaign slogans, and created their own campaign signs as part of the activity. A great hands-on way to bring civics to life!

Parent Check-In for Friday’s Pep Rally

In accordance with State and Federal Guidelines, all visitors must be properly checked in before entering a school building, which involves mandating visitor sign-in, ID verification, and the use of badge systems.

Parents who plan to attend the pep rally on Friday are encouraged to pre-register using the link. Doing so will allow a preprinted badge to be ready for pickup at the new building office door at 1:45 p.m., making entry into the gym quicker and more efficient. Note that the preregistration also requires the upload of your license and a photo. 

Visitors who do not pre-register will be required to complete the standard check-in process at the door, which includes presenting a driver’s license and may involve waiting in a lengthy line.
