From History to Hope — LJH scholars experienced an unforgettable day of learning and reflection at The Legacy Museum in Montgomery, connecting classroom learning to powerful real-world history.
Exploring History, Building Unity — Students from LJH visited the historic New Hope Rosenwald School—part of the Rosenwald initiative that built nearly 5,000 schools across the South in the early 1900s to educate African American children through a partnership between Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington. Afterwards, students strengthened collaboration and leadership skills through team-building activities at West Point Dam.
Black History at LJH- Honoring the Past, Empowering the Present. LJH students took a powerful trip down memory lane through engaging Black History presentations—strengthening their learning through thoughtful peer review and feedback.
Students are diving deep into poetry—Annotating, Analyzing, and Unpacking meaning with Ms. Nelson modeling and guiding the way. At LJH, our instruction reflects aligned standards-based practices: teacher modeling, guided annotation, and analytical discourse.
At LHJ, students are “Growing in Knowledge and the Word"!!! EveryThursday morning, LJH students are afforded the opportunity to learn more about the Word, presented by Pastor Randall and TRUTH Ministries. We are thankful for our partners in Christ and there dedication to our scholars.
At Lanett City Schools, we believe that understanding our history paves the way for our future. Today, we are proud to highlight an incredible African American educator and visionary who fought for equality and excellence in the classroom, Septima Poinsette Clark.
Septima Poinsette Clark is known as the "Queen Mother" of the Civil Rights Movement, she developed "Citizenship Schools" that helped thousands of African Americans gain the literacy skills needed to vote.

At Lanett City Schools, we believe that understanding our history paves the way for our future. Today, we are proud to highlight the incredible African American educator and visionary who fought for equality and excellence in the classroom, Booker T. Washington.
As the first leader of Tuskegee Institute right here in Alabama, his focus on vocational training and self-reliance continues to influence how we approach education today. He didn’t just manage the school; he built it from the ground up—literally. Booker T. Washington also partnered with Julius Rosenwald to construct over 5,000 schools, shops, and teacher homes for African American children across the south.
