Lauderdale County School District Home

Welcome to Lauderdale CSD

The Lauderdale County School District's mission is to educate all students so they can become competent contributing members of society. The LCSD is committed to meeting the needs of all students we serve as we prepare them to be productive, contributing members of our community. In this pursuit, we know students must have a passion or a desire for something – whether it’s academics, sports, or the arts. This passion is the driving force that gives them one reason to come to school, and thus, they are more likely to experience success.

LCSD/Meridian Footwear Prototype

LCSD/Meridian Footwear Shoe Challenge Prototype Reveal

What started as an idea more than a year ago has crossed the finish line in a powerful way! Through hands-on learning fueled by innovation and collaboration, students teamed up with the Meridian Footwear Company to bring a real-world design to life. Top teams from all four LCSD high schools went head-to-head in a shoe design competition last December, showcasing creativity, problem-solving, and industry-ready skills. The journey culminated with Meridian Footwear producing a prototype of the winning design, which was unveiled during a community-filled ceremony. Click on the attached link to learn more about the project, and how you can view the winning designs for each campus at the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience.
