The Lighthouse School is celebrating 50 years in education, under the anniversary theme of ‘Honouring Our Past. Celebrating Our Present. Building a Legacy of Excellence.’
In a press release, the Ministry of Education and Training said, since its establishment in 1976, Lighthouse School has remained committed to empowering students, supporting families and building a legacy grounded in opportunity, resilience and achievement.
From its early beginnings to its present-day role as a trusted educational institution,
Lighthouse School has continually evolved to meet the diverse needs of students, while
staying true to its guiding belief: ‘Yes, We Can.’ This philosophy has driven innovation,
inclusion and student-centred learning across generations, the release added.
Lighthouse School Principal Denise R. Williams said, “This anniversary is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared commitment to learning, care and high expectations.”
Williams added, “We are proud of our past, inspired by our present, and excited about the legacy we continue to build for future generations.”
As part of the anniversary celebration, a logo was created to “symbolise continuity, growth and excellence – honouring the journey from 1976 to 2026, while looking ahead to the future with purpose and pride,” said the release.
Throughout 2026, Lighthouse School will host a series of commemorative events and
initiatives to celebrate this milestone, including community celebrations, student-led
activities, alumni engagement opportunities and reflections on the school’s rich history and
future vision.
The Lighthouse School is inviting anyone who was connected to the school at its inception – former students, parents, educators, board members, volunteers or community supporters – to share their memories and experiences. Persons can contact Williams at 925-8071 or via email at [email protected].
The wider community is also invited to join in celebrating this golden milestone. For updates on anniversary events, stories and celebrations throughout 2026, the public can visit schools.edu.ky/lhs.
