One of the core values of LCS is the belief that we are partnering with parents in the Christian education of their children. We believe that mutual respect, communication and involvement by all partners is essential for success of our mission.LCS is a school. We believe that being a Christian school and being a top-flight academic institution should not be mutually exclusive. On the contrary, we take the mandate of Colossians 3:23 that calls us to strive to be the best. We provide a variety of rigorous, engaging, academic and co-curricular activities that enable students to identify and express the full range of their unique gifts and abilities.

The team is comprised of Abby Branham, Ashlynn Joyner, Reese Overholt, Julia Canady, Lauren Latimer, Kristy Smith, Jake Albritton and Jace Gravitz. They are coached by Chasity Branham, Melissa Gravitz and Greg Cawood. The team defeated the George Jenkins Law Academy in early February to earn their spot in the finals.
