The Lenoir City School System was organized in 1907, and
has been a separate school system since the city was chartered. It
consists of an elementary school, grades K-5, a middle school, grades
6-8, a high school, grades 9-12, and a Central Office.
The system is governed by a five-member school board,
which is elected by the general population. The citizens of Lenoir City
take great pride in their school system and have made a commitment
toward excellence.
Lenoir City was the first municipality in the state of
Tennessee to levy local sales taxes for educational purposes. A new
elementary facility was built in 1987 and received the School
Architectural Award of Tennessee as well as the Loudon County
Beautification Award. The middle school moved into a new building in
1990, that won the TSA School of the Year Award. Renovations to the
Lenoir City High School have just recently been completed.
Developing a facility that will be state of the art for
the twenty-first century is a prime goal. Through a strong academic
program, progressive use of technology, commitment to fine arts,
outstanding vocational classes, competitive athletic program, and
active school-community partnership, the Lenoir City School System is
actively pursuing its goal of striving for excellence.
