LCSD Educator Awards Banquet
Each year, the LCSD proudly partners with the Mining Industry Foundation to honor the exceptional dedication and contributions of our staff. One certified and one classified staff member are selected from each school and from Student Support Services. In addition, one outstanding individual from the district office is recognized. We also take this opportunity to celebrate individuals who have demonstrated long-standing commitment and service through their years of dedication to the district.
