LHS students, staff, families, and friends... awards are nice, but the truth is that kindness and being a good human is so much more. These students exhibited the best of the best of exceptional character this week. They competed and performed beautifully with great passion. They rallied behind, campaigned for, and performed in a skit for the current Tennessee president from Seymour High School, who WON the National Beta Presidency today. These "kids" deserve sincere praise for their character and talent.
To Nicki Johnson, Jaivel Walker, Mary Woodall, and Jenny Gibson ... you are amazing and selfless. Thank you for the countless hours you literally "give" to the students at Lexington High School. Your impact will live for generations to come. Thank you for pulling out the very best in our students.

We are super excited to announce our newest faculty member, Mr. Kyle Evans!
"My name is Kyle Evans. I grew up in Luray, TN. My parents are David and Shelia Evans of Luray. I have my BS from MTSU in agriculture. I taught in McNairy County for eight years and moved to Custer County, Colorado to start a ranch management program with the local high school. I taught agriculture in Custer County for five years and enjoyed the mountain life and experience. We are now looking to come home and spend time with our family and community. My wife Cara and I have been married for 15 years this summer and we have one daughter Olivia who is nine years old. She will attend Westover Elementary in the fall. I have a passion for all things agriculture and I truly enjoy being a teacher. I entered the profession at a late age but found out immediately that this is my calling. I look forward to working with everyone and the LHS FFA family and community."
