🚨 Big News from LCC!
We’re excited to share that Mrs. Jennifer Van Meter has been selected as the next High School Principal for LCC School, pending official board approval on April 14th.
Many of you know Mrs. Van Meter from her years as a middle school English Language Arts teacher, and we’re thrilled that she’ll continue to serve our students in this new leadership role. She’s passionate about building strong relationships, supporting academic success, and creating a safe, welcoming school environment where every student can thrive.
Mrs. Van Meter also brings leadership experience from her time as a principal and school director at an international school, and we’re confident she’ll bring that same dedication and vision to LCC High School.
We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to welcoming Mrs. Van Meter into this role as we continue working together to make LCC School a place we’re all proud to call home.
