LRHS Career Center

Did you know that the Career Center at LRHS offers multiple career-related opportunities for students throughout the school year? Experiences include field trips, job shadowing, and career fairs (both live and virtual). We also have an apprenticeship and internship program! If you are interested and would like to keep up with dates and sign-ups, please visit the LRHS website (Students>Career Development) or reach out to our Career Development Coordinator, Mrs. Andrews (klandrews@wcpss.net). These opportunities and job openings are also posted outside the career center (Rm. 102) in the main building.

 

Leesville Road High School would like to Thank the Pride Athletic Club's board and members for helping us with major upgrades to our school's weight room and gymnasium sound system. The impact of these upgrades will be felt tremendously by all athletes and students in our school community.
