The 2026 Lafayette Softball team makes history with its first state championship in school history, with first-year head coach Emily Norwood at the helm.
The Commodores swept the Sumrall Bobcast in the series, 7-5 in game one, and 9-8 in game two. Jenny Dreher was the MVP.
It looks like a lot of fun for our younger Commodores this coming Friday.
We continue honoring our Class of 2026 as we count down to graduation. Congratulations to the nine outstanding seniors elected to the Lafayette Hall of Fame.
Best of luck to our softball team on game one of the 5A Championship series today versus Sumrall. If you can't make it to Hattiesburg for the games, MSHAA will be broadcasting on the NFHS Network app or online. This is a pay-per-view event.
Book Blast Celebration!
Thank you to all who supported the LES Book Blast this year! We are sending home 3,929 books for our students' summer reading!
Earlier this week, some of our 3rd–5th grade students enjoyed their well-earned AR rewards with a sno-cone party right outside the school. While Sno Biz was here, our faculty & staff joined in on the fun to kick off Teacher Appreciation Week!
We are a week away. We can't wait to the Class of 2026 walk the stage.
Thank you to our PTO for providing donuts and juice for the celebration.
LCSD has been notified of a recent data breach involving Instructure, the company that operates Canvas. This was not a breach of our district’s internal systems, but of the Canvas platform, which impacted schools worldwide.
The information involved is limited to basic directory data (such as names and school email addresses). At this time, to protect our systems, no additional data will be sent to this platform.
We encourage everyone to be cautious of unexpected emails, as phishing attempts may increase. This is an update to the notice posted earlier this week on our website. LCSD will continue to monitor the situation and provide additional updates as needed.

Congratulations to Isabella Dessance for being chosen as a Mississippi STAR Student. This honor is awarded to students with the highest ACT score in their graduating class. Each student selects a teacher who has had an impact on their education. Dessance chose Virge Cornelius.
Congratulations to Gavyn Leary on receiving Finalist status as a National Merit Scholar. This is one of the highest national honors a student can receive.
2025-2026 Parents of the Year
At Tuesday night’s Board Meeting, we were proud to recognize the Parent of the Year from each of our schools.
A common theme among the principals was the incredible dedication these parents show to their school communities. From supporting PTO efforts to helping teachers and encouraging students, these individuals are always willing to step in and lend a hand both during and after school hours. Their presence, support, and servant hearts make a lasting difference in our buildings each day.
Thank you to these outstanding parents for the many ways you help strengthen our schools and support our students and staff!
LUES 6th Grade Student Council had a great time visiting Beau Ridge Retirement Home for a fun afternoon of glow-in-the-dark bingo with residents!
