LCS has been a leader in our community for United Way fundraising. Over the past five years, LCS has contributed over $550,000. Even more rewarding is that those funds flow right back into our schools (Reading Pals, Math Pals, and other educational programs), to our families, and the Foundation for Leon County Schools. This campaign could not have been successful without the district-wide leadership team organized by our Superintendent, Rocky Hanna. 

Please welcome our 2026-2027 Leon County Schools-United Way of the Big Bend Leadership team.
