The beautiful mosaic mural located on the front of the building symbolizes David Starr Jordan's life. Mr. Jordan, of Gainesville, was a world renowned naturalist who became president of Stanford University in California.
H.J. Harrison was the first Superintendent of Letchworth, but he did not live to see the building completed.
The original plans for LCS included a high school, bowling alleys, an auditorium, and elementary rooms.
In order to obtain the vote to centralize, a gentleman's agreement guaranteed each village a board seat and its own elementary building. However, the elementary is now consolidated into the K-12 Building.
LCS Campus is located "in the middle of nowhere" so that no village would have special advantages.
Mr. Rogers is only the sixth principal of the High School.
A 5-acre solar-array was completed in the Summer of 2017, producing power for the school district and surrounding area.
