B-L High School senior Miguel Santana recently learned that he passed the Michelin Tech Scholar test! This is a highly-selective program and we are so proud of Miguel! The Technical Scholars Program selects students to develop hands-on work experience while earning their degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) or Electronics Engineering Technology (EET). Michelin Technical Scholars receive scholarships to cover the cost of tuition, fees and books for the program along with competitive pay and part-time work in a Michelin manufacturing facility. Way to go Miguel!

Last night, the Batesburg-Leesville High School Panther football program gathered for a heartwarming end-of-the-year banquet, honoring two extraordinary individuals for their many decades of dedicated service. 👏 A round of applause and a heartfelt congratulations to Chip Penick, a true legend in B-L athletics, for an outstanding 30 years of service! Former Panthers Varsity Football Coach Phil Strickland proudly presented the award to Chip, recognizing his outstanding commitment as the football team's equipment manager. 🎉 Coach Gary Smallen, also an icon in B-L athletics, was celebrated for an astonishing 50 years of service. The award, presented by former Coastal Carolina football coach and colleague David Bennett, showcased Coach Smallen's enduring impact and dedication. Coach Smallen serves as the football team's Offensive Coordinator and is Head Coach of the golf team. Lexington Three extends its gratitude to Chip and Coach Smallen for their unwavering support of our student athletes!

The National Weather Service is forecasting that a line of severe thunderstorms will be passing through our area starting this afternoon (Monday, August 7th). Part of this forecast includes damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 to 70 miles per hour. These conditions could affect the safe operation of school buses as the South Carolina Department of Education does not allow buses to operate when wind gusts are greater than 40 miles per hour. As a result, Lexington Three will be dismissing all of its students one hour early today. Click to read more: https://www.lex3.org/article/1193230
