Seniors, it's never too early to start preparing for scholarship opportunities. Check out this opportunity to learn about financial expectations ahead.
READY FOR DAY ONE
As we kick off a new school year tomorrow, we want to help our families stay informed about important attendance updates.
Please review the graphic highlighting Mississippi Senate Bill 2103 and the updated guidance regarding student attendance, including the 5 excused absences per semester.
We look forward to launching our new digital student excuse process. If you received your Forms & Flows account invitation by email, we encourage you to create your account now so you'll be ready when online excuse submissions become available.
For complete attendance information, including district procedures, please refer to the LCSD Student Handbook available on our district website.
Here's to a great first day of school and an amazing year ahead!
FIRST DAY FRIENDLY REMINDERS
For everyone’s safety, morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up are hands-free device zones. Please stay alert and focused to protect all students and staff.
Check the images of traffic flow maps to help ensure smooth, safe drop-off and pick-up for everyone. The entrance located near the gas station is not a drop-off zone for students. Please be aware and allow LHS teachers access to their faculty lot behind LHS.
Let’s work together to keep our Commodore Family safe!

Kicking Off the 2026-2027 School Year!
This morning, our Lafayette County School District faculty and staff gathered for a pep rally-style welcome as we officially launched a new school year together!
Student groups brought their energy and enthusiasm to help welcome our faculty and staff as we celebrated the start of another great year. Congratulations to Lafayette Upper Elementary School for claiming the Spirit Stick Championship and taking home the Free Throw Challenge title! Congratulations to Lafayette High School for winning the Musical Chairs Championship!
We were also inspired by heartfelt words from LHS alumni Fletcher Atkinson and Kate Riddle, Community Church Pastor Fish Robinson, and LCSD District Teacher of the Year Loidha Bautista. Their encouragement reminded us of the incredible impact educators have as they invest in our students each day.
As we begin another year, we are grateful for every faculty and staff member who continues to pour into the lives of our students, helping them grow academically, personally, and in character as we remain "Anchored to Excellence".
Here's to an incredible 2026-2027 school year, Commodores!
