This morning Mrs. Hudson and Coach Bell’s Geometry class did a fun hallway review activity before their quiz. Each card they had to determine the true statement about dilations and record why the other statement was false according to the scenario. #OneLowndes #BetterTogether
Congratulations to Gavin Draper for being selected to perform in the GMEA District 8 Jazz Honor Band for the second year in the row!
Every year, high school students around Southeast Georgia audition for a spot in the District Jazz Honor Band. The auditions are judged and the best jazz musicians from our region are selected. Those students will get together at VSU in April, rehearse for two days, and will perform a concert with some great Jazz music! Gavin will be playing piano in this ensemble. #OneLowndes #BetterTogether

Students in Mrs. Aldridge’s Economics & Personal Finance classes have been learning the importance of borrowing and investing, as well as making well informed financial decisions. Yesterday, each class played Credit Land and learned about what behaviors positively and negatively impact credit scores, as well as how credit scores in turn impact interest rates on everyday loans. #OneLowndes #BetterTogether
🎄 The Vikings Are Decking the Halls! 🎄
Our Vikings got a head start on Christmas decorating, and the results ate magical! 🌟 When we return from Thanksgiving break, it’ll be time for Shop with a Viking!
Our amazing clubs have worked hard to put together some beautiful trees, and we can’t wait for our little Vikings to see them. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Stay tuned for more holiday cheer! 🎅✨
Mrs. Yancey’s Drawing 1 class is working hard on their graphite portraits.

Great things are happening in our art department everyday! #BetterTogether #OneLowndes

🎉 LHS Seniors Take on The Game of Life! 🎉
Last Friday, November 8, Lowndes High School seniors got a taste of real-world adulting through The Game of Life Reality Game!
Students stepped into the shoes of working adults, managing an assigned occupation and salary while making smart financial decisions about housing, transportation, insurance, and more. Chance cards added an exciting twist, offering surprises—good or bad—along the way! 🚗💰🏠
To keep it realistic, students had to obey the law or risk being “pulled over” by our awesome SRO officers. 🚨
A huge THANK YOU to our Economics teachers for organizing this fantastic event, the teachers who gave up their planning periods, the central office staff who volunteered their time, and the many businesses who gave of their time to work a booth.
Thank you all for helping make this day unforgettable for our seniors! 💼👏
Congratulations to DECA! @OneLowndes #BetterTogether
