🎓 Meet Jennifer Queen – Middle Schools
Jennifer loves helping students see how their courses connect to future careers. She believes every class is a chance to explore, refine, and shape their path. “When students begin with the end in mind, they can make intentional choices that align with where they want to be on graduation day and beyond,” she says.
Her go-to advice? “Choosing a career is like following a great recipe — it’s a blend of what you’re good at and what you truly enjoy.”
Jennifer's favorite resource for students is NCCareers.org, a one-stop hub for exploring careers, taking interest assessments, and discovering how school connects to real-world opportunities in North Carolina.

Mrs. Beckham and Asbury Academy have been awarded the Rutherford EMC Bright Ideas Grant to expand student learning in our school greenhouse!
Thanks to this generous funding, students will soon be able to plan, plant, and harvest their own crops this spring. The grant will support the purchase of raised beds and seeds—providing meaningful, hands-on learning experiences.
Math and science teachers will integrate the greenhouse into their instruction, using planting, growing, and harvesting activities to make classroom content come alive in real-world ways.

🎓 Meet Christie Burke – North Lincoln High School
For Christie, the best part of being a Career Development Coordinator is seeing students achieve the very dreams they began building in high school. Watching graduates step into careers they once planned for is what makes her work so meaningful.

Christie recommends students explore NCCareers.org for tools, career pathways, and planning resources — a great place to start any journey.
💬 Fun fact: She’s been to Siberia!

Every Friday, our students brighten the halls of East Lincoln High as they deliver drinks in support of their “I Can Coffee” store ☕💚🤍

This week we’re spotlighting Mrs. Kaylyn Kitts Davis – a proud LCS alum who is now making a difference as a school counselor! 💙
Kaylyn attended Catawba Springs, East Lincoln Middle, and East Lincoln High. Along the way, she had many teachers who shaped her path, including Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Cline, and Mrs. Kemp. She remembers Mrs. Turner as the most loving and comforting teacher, with wonderful kindergarten memories that she still treasures. Mrs. Cline supported her with care during a year of health challenges, while Mrs. Kemp taught her leadership and accountability that carried her into future success. 🍎
Today, Mrs. Davis serves as a Guidance Counselor at Catawba Springs Elementary. Before joining CSES, she also worked at G.E. Massey. For her, returning to the same schools she grew up in feels both nostalgic and comforting, creating a sense of family that she now gives back to her students.
When asked what she loves most about her role, Mrs. Davis shared:
“I love helping and serving students! My favorite part of my job is individual counseling. I get to know students on a personal level and I am able to encourage personal growth, independence, and interpersonal skills among other things.” 🌟
Thank you, Mrs. Davis, for your heart for students and for continuing the LCS tradition of care and excellence! 👏
#WeAreLINCOLN #LCSProud #FlashbackFriday

Students also took part in hands-on job simulations in the fields of animal care, food service, grocery, retail, and manufacturing — gaining real-world experience in a supportive, fun environment.
We are incredibly grateful to the community agencies, local businesses, LCS graduates, and volunteers who have generously donated their time and resources to make this event possible. Their partnership plays a vital role in helping our students build confidence and prepare for success—because Bright Futures Start Here!
