Due to the forecasted inclement weather, Lenoir County Public Schools will be closing at noon for all students and staff on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. LCPS will also be closed for all students and staff members on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.

Like every other school system in North Carolina and many across the nation and around the world, LCPS has been notified by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction that a data breach has occurred involving the vendor for student information data management used by North Carolina's public schools, a company called PowerSchool.  

There is nothing NCDPI, LCPS or any of the school systems across North Carolina could have done to prevent this incident, as neither we, nor DPI, have access to where the breach occurred. Protecting student and teacher data continues to be a top priority for the NC Department of Public Instruction and for our school system.  We will provide updates when any new information becomes available.

Lenoir County Public Schools is proud to announce that the Lenoir County Education Foundation awarded 97 mini-grants across 16 schools in December. There were over 200 mini-grant applications submitted, and teachers could apply by themselves or as a group.

Congratulations to everyone who has been named!

The Lenoir County Education Foundation, a committee created by the Chamber of Commerce, has long partnered with Lenoir County Public Schools to support teachers as they strive to foster strong educational environments for all students. There's no better way to do that than some friendly, competitive fundraisers.
