LCCS New Family Guide

We host a morning in August as a fun Eagle family way to kick off the new school year. Hear from the Head of School, meet and greet other Eagle families, learn more about LCCS programs, and pick up spirit gear. Now students may have orientation times, and schedules for grades 5-12 are made available on this day so families can walk through campus and say hello to teachers.

This annual meeting of our Eagle families is an opportunity for the Head of School to connect with families, review feedback, and share our vision of the future for LCCS. This required meeting helps leadership and families alike ensure that everyone hears the same message as part of continuous enrollment.

One of our school’s most beloved traditions, this sweet chapel has been a special time for our students since our first Christmas together in 1980! In the weeks before Christmas, classes take turns placing a figure in the outdoor nativity scene. Elementary students worship together in this final chapel before Christmas, as the scene is completed as baby Jesus is placed in the manger!

End-of-the-year elementary Crown Chapel is a special time when students place their crowns (symbolizing all the life events of the year – celebrations and challenges) at the foot of the cross.

Located in the Purtell Building, this elementary science lab serves PK-4th grade, where exciting things happen every day.

Eagle Lab is our STEM class for PK-Middle School, where students create and learn with 3D printers, robotics, and more.

A long-standing LCCS tradition, 3rd-grade students complete a series of manners and etiquette courses that culminate in an elegant holiday brunch or luncheon after a viewing of The Nutcracker ballet at Bass Hall.

Our LCCS mascots are Eli the Eagle and Ellie the Eagle and you’ll find one of them at different events throughout the year.

The House system offers leadership and fellowship opportunities and builds loyalty and unity while encouraging competition throughout the year. Our four houses of Maulden, Byers, McElreath, and Blanton are named for people instrumental in the founding of our school.

Each family completes 10 hours of service at LCCS on campus each school year. Everyone has opportunities, and each sign-up offers a chance to get to know other families. MobileServe is the platform we use to track, communicate, and organize family service hours.

We join other organizations across North Texas to raise funds and compete for matching funds in the nation’s largest one-day giving event for non-profits held each September.

Each fall, our students complete age-appropriate service projects on and off campus, ranging from campus care and packaging socks for the homeless to assembling hygiene kits and building beds for foster children. Friends/family/neighbors are asked to sponsor them with a monetary pledge as students serve others in this impactful fundraiser.

Our biggest fundraiser of the year is the Tip Your Hat Gala. This fun spring event brings the community together at River Ranch Stockyards for dinner and a live auction. From sponsorships and donations to games and the live auction, everyone can get involved. 

The Blanton Business Suite is the main entrance to our campus, located at the end of our main building and easily accessible via the light at Bailey Boswell and Boat Club Road. Our administrative offices and conference room are here in the suite named for Tom Blanton, who served as chairman of our School Board for ten years and was instrumental in founding our school. 

The main building houses administrative offices, middle and high schools, and the cafeteria. The main campus entrance is at the end of the building in the Blanton Business Suite, easily accessible at the light at Bailey Boswell and Boat Club Road.

This building houses our early ed. and elementary school and includes the cafetorium. The entrance is located by the flagpole in the one-way U-shaped lot. It is named for former Head of School Nancy Purtell.

The Byers Center houses our fine arts and athletics programs; the building is across the one-way, U-shaped parking lot from the Nancy Purtell Academic Building.

The Tiger Gage Rohus Spirit Facility is located at the west end of Eagle Stadium. It houses our cheer practice facility, plus restrooms and concessions on game days.

Home of the Eagles, our stadium hosts Eagle football and soccer, plus fun events like Field Day and Celebrate LCCS.

The alley between the Byers Center and Eagle Stadium hosts overflow and special events, such as Celebrate LCCS in May. 

Our competition gym is known as the red gym and is on the bottom floor of the Byers Center. We use this site for special events that need more seating, such as all-school chapels, varsity volleyball and basketball games, and performing arts concerts.

The blue gym is on the main floor of the Byers Center and is used for middle school games, PE classes, and special events like the high school musical, middle school team chapels, homecoming dance, and special receptions.

Located on the 3rd floor of the Byers Center, the rehearsal hall hosts performance rehearsals, dance classes, recitals, and occasionally parent meetings.

Located on the main floor of the Byers Center, overlooking the red gym, the Spirit Store is open at specific times each week for families to purchase spirit gear for Friday spirit days.

The cafetorium is located on the west end of the Purtell Building, just off the lower elementary entrance. Activities here include elementary lunches, parent meetings, staff development, and events such as the women’s breakfast and open houses. There is no direct access to the cafetorium; visitors enter through the main door.

Located between the Main Building and the Purtell Building, the Courtyard features a fenced playground, a basketball court, a middle school 9-square game, and picnic tables for outdoor class time when the weather is nice.

Located in the middle and high school building, this is where those divisions have lunch and flex period activities.
