Lake Country Christian High School utilizes a Modified Block Schedule.

While the iPad is the 1:1 technology tool for teaching and learning for students in grades K-8., students in grades 9-12 are responsible for purchasing their own device with the appropriate requirements to use in the classroom and at home each day. This BYOD program allows students to bring their choice of a laptop or iPad. The minimum requirements for the devices are listed on the high school supply lists each year. Through this program, we continue the school’s ongoing commitment to:

• Educate students for the 21st century
• Equip students to lead in technology
• Encourage students in innovative thinking

As you progress through your educational experience, life at Lake Country Christian High School is enriched through extracurricular opportunities.

The House System:  The purpose of the House system is to provide a means of building unity, loyalty, and tradition through the high school over an extended period of time. It is designed to encourage and increase competition among the students, and to create a supportive environment. It also provides leadership opportunities. It originated in British boarding schools where students actually lived in “house” units and started at LCCS in 2008. The LCCS Houses of Blanton, Byers, McElreath, and Maulden are named after persons with founding connections to the school. Each House has distinguishing character qualities, a color, and an animal mascot. The LCCS High School student body is divided into four mixed gender mixed grade level groups. All members of the same family are placed in the same house. The Houses do not replace grouping students by grade level for Pep Rallies and other traditional events.

Student Council:  The LCCS Student Council provides students the opportunity to participate in a representative governing body at an appropriate level for upper school students. Student Council members provide input, organize, coordinate, and carry out plans for special events throughout the year, including New Student Orientation, Open House, Spirit Week, Love Your Neighbor Week, Homecoming, and Spring Formal.

Spiritual Life

Lake Country Christian High School is an extension of the Christian home and local church. We are committed to providing opportunities for students to come to faith in Christ, to teach them who they are in him and to grow in a real relationship with God. Bible classes, chapels, retreats, biblically integrated academic instruction and relationships with other students, teachers, and administrators whose lives reflect Christ help students to love God and want to know him better.

Community Outreach and Missions

Lake Country Christian High School is committed to missions. Acts 1:8 commands us to be witnesses in Jerusalem (Fort Worth), Judea (Texas), Samaria (Mexico), and the uttermost parts of the earth (overseas). Our desire is to give students an opportunity to fulfill these verses and to see the purposes of God revealed.

We feel very strongly that students learn early on the importance of giving back to the community and sharing God’s love with others on a practical level. High school students are encouraged to serve locally or through domestic and international mission trips.

• High school students have traveled with LCCS to Galveston, Arizona, Missouri, Colorado, New York, El Paso/Juarez, Honduras, Spain, Dominican Republic, Thailand, Peru, Argentina, Panama, Romania, Scotland, Germany, India, Turkey, England, South Africa, Czech Republic, El Salvador, and Italy to serve through building projects, disaster recovery, feeding the poor, working with schools/orphanages/medical clinics, evangelism, intercession, and outreach through the arts or sports and cultural exchanges.
• Throughout the year students come together to plan, gather needed resources, and provide support for community-based organizations such as Beautiful Feet Ministries, Tarrant Area Food Bank, Union Gospel Mission, Life Unlimited Ministries, and Saginaw’s Community Link Mission.
• LCCS IN ACTION is a service and fundraising opportunity designated each fall to provide an opportunity for students to serve together at local community-based organizations.
