Preparing students for success beyond graduation requires strong partnerships, meaningful experiences, and real-world opportunities.

Recently, Superintendent Dr. Ron Anthony visited several Lexington Senior High School internship sites to see firsthand how students are developing workplace skills and exploring future career pathways through paid internships made possible by a local grant.

This year, 19 students participated in internships with community partners including the City of Lexington, Davidson-Davie Community College, Siemens Mobility, EGGER, J. Smith Young YMCA, and other local organizations, as well as Lexington City Schools departments including Career and Technical Education (CTE), Technology, School Nutrition, and Maintenance.

These experiences allowed students to apply classroom learning in professional settings, build valuable connections, earn income, and gain hands-on experience in fields such as education, public service, manufacturing, technology, and business.

Work-based learning remains a critical component of Lexington City Schools' commitment to college, career, and workforce readiness, helping ensure students graduate with the skills, experiences, and confidence needed to succeed in an evolving workforce.

Thank you to our business partners, community organizations, staff members, and grant supporters for investing in our students and helping create opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom.
