McKay Award
This award was established in 2010 to honor Principal Jim McKay for his outstanding efforts to advance Lakes Community High School (LCHS). The McKay Award is given to recognize a member of the community whose efforts have further enhanced the vision of LCHS. Please consider and nominate an LCHS employee, teacher, guidance counselor, support team member, etc. All nominations should be for a staff member who has gone above and beyond what is expected of them to enhance the LCHS culture, support growth, and cultivate a comprehensive and exemplary learning experience in our high school community.
Nominations of exemplary staff are accepted from parents and students. Watch for your chance to nominate someone in April 2025.
