Nominees must hold a valid South Carolina teaching certificate, with the exception of ROTC teachers who must be qualified by the appropriate area of service, and must not have served as District Teacher of the Year in the same district during the 4 (four) previous years.

National School Counseling Week is celebrated across the nation next week, February 6-10. The theme of this year's week is "School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big."

School counselors are an integral part of the day in every school across the district. One of the most important things school counselors do is help students succeed in school and plan their career. With the aid of a school counselor, students learn to develop effective collaboration and cooperation skills, to practice perseverance, to develop time management and study skills, and to learn self-motivation and self-direction habits.

Reach out to your school counselor and let them know how much you appreciate them!

This is an annual joint effort between LCSD, Bob Doster's Backstreet Studio and the city of Lancaster. Every year, the visual art teacher at each school submits art entries from their students with the designated theme. This year's theme is "Under the Sea." Bob's Backstreet Studio judges the artwork and selects the top designs for elementary, middle, and high school. The chosen students, along with other classmates, come to paint their design on a banner at the Lancaster Multipurpose Building. Once the banners are all painted the elementary designs are displayed on the light poles of Downtown Main Street and the middle/high school designs are displayed on the large cube frames in front of the Spring House/Arts Council on Gay Street.

The artwork will be displayed in March as a part of Youth Art Month. Here's a little sneak peek:
