Lanett High School

Each year, we send an upcoming senior to participate in Boys State and Girls State. Both of these programs are part of the American Legion, an organization that believes teaching young people about the American government will result in our country's continued success. Each program is a weeklong opportunity for students to build new friendships, learn about and participate in a mock government, and listen to a variety of speakers. An annual donation from Lanett’s Lambda Zeta Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. sponsors a boy and a girl to participate in this worthwhile summer adventure. This year, our boy is Jaquarius Billingsley and our girl is MaKiah White. The staff of LHS votes on these students based on their leadership, work ethic, and motivation for school and community activities. Several members of the sorority presented the sponsorships to our students.

Each year, students on yearbook staff select a staff member to whom the dedicate the yearbook. This year, the students selected Mrs. Frederick, affectionately known as "Mrs. Deidra". She is the school secretary and band auxiliary sponsor. She always has a smile and kind words for everyone who calls or comes into the office. She goes "above and beyond", helping with bulletin board decorating and event planning and decorating. The students know she is always available to help them. Congratulations Mrs. Deidra!

Micah Strickland and Dominique Thompson played the final match in the Lanett High School 1st Annual Chess Tournament. Micah won in a very tight game! It was the third time these two met in the double-elimination tournament. Micah won the first time, which put Dominique in the losers bracket. Micah won the winners bracket and Dominique won the losers bracket, so they played again. Dominique won that game, so they had to play a third time. Both students played all three games very strategically and showed excellent sportsmanship. Congratulations to both! The chess club will be accepting new members next year, so make your plans now to join! You don’t need to know how to play; Mr. Hill and the returning members can teach you! 💛🖤💛🖤
