This week we would like to shine the Warrior Spotlight on Mr. Blacknall! This man is always on the move and actively works to advocate for students and staff every day. As an alumni of Louisburg High School, he takes great pride in his school community and goes the extra mile to help others.

Mrs. Wrenn shared this moment from last week: "We know that Mr. Blacknall does so much here at LMHS, this is a step above! Here is a rare sighting of “Doctor” Blacknall at work, taking a splinter out of a trusting students finger. Awesome job!"

We would also like to shine the Warrior Spotlight on the Grissom Family! Mr. Bradley Grissom (dad), Ms Kassie Grissom (daughter), and Kaden Grissom (brother) helped out at the FCS Choice Schools Information night recently and shared the great things happening right here at LMHS everyday. Thank you all for representing us and for giving your time to talk with families about what we have to offer.
