The Tradition Continues. Today, Southern Lee High School Seniors from the Class of 2024 got to visit their old elementary schools and parade through the halls in cap and gown in a tradition we call "Senior Walks." These walks bring back so many memories, for the seniors and teachers, while giving the current elementary students a peek at what is to come. Enjoy some of our favorites from today! #classof2024 #seniorwalks Full gallery on our FB Page!

Due to sustained power outages at Lee Early College, Lee County High, Tramway, & Greenwood, students at those campuses will be released at 12 noon. School provided transportation will run at that time. If parents need to make alternative transportation arrangements, they should contact their school office ASAP.
Due to expected inclement weather this afternoon and evening, all after school activities have been cancelled for today.
Due to high winds, we have lost power at several schools. At this time, we do not plan to release students early given the current conditions. Power is estimated to be restored between 11-11:30am. We will continue to monitor conditions to ensure the safety of students and staff.
PURPLE STAR. Being our first school to earn the NC Department of Public Instruction’s Purple Star Award is not just an honor. It documents how J. Glenn Edwards Elementary has made a special commitment to serve military families and help their students thrive.
🪖 Providing stability for students’ often-chaotic lives is just one link between our schools and the United States military. Students are now preparing for public service in high school JROTC programs and several graduates now attend our nation’s service academies. #LCSthrive
