Coach Howell’s Forensics class put their crime scene skills to the test last week by collecting trace evidence at various locations around the school. Students had to collect, package, record and create a chain of custody for the evidence. Then each group worked with other groups who collected evidence from other sites to determine the “murder” scene.
To teach writing, you have to be a writer, and Dr. Catherine Gibbs is both a respected writer and a respected writing teacher. She says…
“After I had been in journalism for a while, I had attended enough community meetings, and what I noticed was the people who can make a difference in their community were the ones who could communicate. [...] I wanted to go back in the classroom because I thought, if I can help students find their voices and [...] express their views—even if they were different than mine—that they could go out in the world and make a difference.”
Please join us as we talk to Dr. Gibbs about her aspiration to both enjoy and improve the world. If you get a chance, stop by and ask Dr. Gibbs about the dog she mentions in the interview.
This interview features Teresa Flowers and Jaedyn Gerrells interviewing Dr. Catherine Gibbs. Thank you Wyatt and Radford Windham for formatting the recording. Final edits and page formatting was completed by Barron Brooks, Chloe Jones, Jordyn Meeks, Hailey Roberts, and Jackson Turner.

We want to make you aware of a situation occurring earlier today. Administration was informed by our students of an incident with a classmate. Upon learning of the report, our administration worked alongside the Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office to conduct an investigation and isolate the student in question. Although the student was not found to be in possession of a weapon on his person, an air-soft look-alike gun was found in his vehicle. The look-alike gun was not inside our school, and our students and staff were never in immediate danger. We are grateful for the swift actions of our team and the LCSO. Our number one priority is and always will be the safety of our students and staff.
Thanks to the generosity of Lowe's Home Improvement and the SkillsUSA Grant, our carpentry students at LCHS are using the tools and equipment purchased to give back to our local community!
