LHS Fun Historic Fact
The building of the new LHS brought many families to Leesburg. One of those families was the Matthews family. James F. Matthews was hired as a builder of the new school and moved his family here from Livingston, Tennessee.
His son, Kenneth Matthews, was a proud Jacket that graduated in 1938 and went on to serve our country in WWII. His son, Kenneth (Kirk) Matthews, was a star Jacket student-athlete as well as the band's drum major. He graduated in 1967.
Finally, Jackie Matthews, Kirk's daughter was very involved in student government and athletics. She graduated with the class of 2000. What an honor to have 4 generations walk these historic halls.
Look for Jackie and her dad at the centennial celebration weekend!

We are honored to continue our partnership with Powerhouse Youth Project and Noble Sheep as we work together to empower the next generation of Yellow Jackets!
Preparing students for success means preparing them for life beyond graduation. Through mentorship, career exploration, real-world experiences, and purposeful connections, we’re helping students discover their potential, identify their purpose, and take confident steps toward their future.
