There will be no after school tutoring today! If you have any promposal pictures and videos please send them
to [email protected] to be featured in LexLife! Sadly, not enough people signed up for the arm-wrestling competition to hold the event.
You can still show your muscle by purchasing a shamrock for $1 during all ILT's. All shamrocks will be posted in the commons. All proceeds go to the Muscular Dystrophy
Association. Thanks for helping make a difference! Lexington High School wants encourage everyone to take a moment out of your day to do a good deed! You never know when someone needs a helping hand, a door held for them, a simple wave or a big smile. Take a moment on Tuesday, March 14 to pick up a sticky note and do a good deed!
The LHS Caring Cats Club, LHS Student Council, and the School Improvement Council has come together to place sticky notes around the school ... look for them on lockers, in the stairwells, on the cafeteria tables, in the Upper and Lower Commons, outside of classrooms, and several other places around the school and take a moment to do what it says! We want Lexington High School to be a place where everyone can come together, work together, and smile together while we do things for each other.
Give someone something to smile about as we are getting in to the middle of exams! Thanks Wildcats!

Rising SENIOR?
Consider Emerging Public Leaders at Furman University! Furman’s Emerging Public Leaders is a FREE leadership and civic engagement
program for junior students sponsored by the Richard W. Riley Institute of Government, Politics, and Public Leadership.
This week-long summer program (June 18 – 23, 2017) offers a series of experiences that enable students to develop into civic-minded and engaged leaders in their communities.
During the week, participants attend workshops at Furman that prepare them to plan and implement a service project addressing a specific need within their own communities. Students will then return to campus in the spring to present the results of their projects to their peers and a panel of judges. Additional project funds are awarded to the winner.
“Participating in EPL was one of the best decisions I made in high school. I truly think that I have a better understanding of what it means to start and run a service organization, and I hope that the project I started will continue to help students in the future. Effective leadership can mobilize people to make the world a much better place, and I plan to utilize it as much as I can.” Lucas Paquette, Class of 2015, Johnsonville High School

The SC Teacher Loan Program was established by the State of South Carolina to help talented and qualified students become teachers. Students can borrow up to $2,500 per year in their freshman and sophomore years and $5,000 per year in their junior and senior years. The loan is 100% forgivable if the recipient teaches in certain critical geographic or subject areas in South Carolina. The complete lists of critical areas as well as the eligibility criteria and all other details of the program are available at: http://www.scstudentloan.org/students/teacherforgiveness.aspx.
Questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact us at (800)347-2752. If you are over 3 unexcused absences in a 9 week class you will need to make up the seat time
by doing after school detention. If you do not make up the seat time before the end of the
quarter which is Wednesday, March 15, you will get a "failed due to absences" for your
9 week class even if you pass it. Please come see Mr. Verburg to coordinate your detention if
you are over in unexcused absences.
