Data isn’t just numbers it’s a roadmap. It tells the story of how our students are mastering complex Biology concepts and building true scientific confidence. We don’t just teach content; we bridge the gap.
From Beginning to Distinguished, every percentage point reflects growth. Every gain represents a student strengthening their understanding, sharpening their skills, and finding their voice in science.
That’s what growth looks like.
That’s what excellence feels like.
That’s why Greatness Grows Here.

🎉🏀 LSHS Retires Jersey of Basketball Legend Demeara Hinds
Demeara Hinds is a legend in Lithia Springs basketball. She capped her four-year career as the only player in the school's 50-year history with both 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds and then went on to play collegiately for five years at Wake Forest and another year at Clemson.
On Friday, the Lady Lions recognized Hinds by retiring her No. 25 jersey during a special ceremony.
"Demeara set the standard," said LSHS Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Mikey Jones. "She showed every girl who puts on that jersey that with hard work and discipline, you can go from our gym to the biggest stages in college basketball."
Hinds brought a dominant physical presence on both ends of the floor during her time playing center at Lithia. During her senior season, she averaged 13.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.5 blocks and 2.6 steals. She posted a career-best 25 points and 22 rebounds in a victory over Banneker in 2020.
That same year, she led a team featuring three freshman starters to a state playoff win. She was named the Region Player of the Year and the Douglas County Sentinel Player of the Year.
Earlier in her career, she played a pivotal role in leading the Lady Lions to the 2018 Region Championship, producing a dominant 10-point, 16-rebound performance to secure only the second region title in program history.
She finished as the school's all-time rebound and shot block leader with 42 career double-doubles in 106 games.
An exceptional student-athlete, Hinds graduated from the Lithia Springs STEM magnet program with a 3.6 GPA.

Friday, February 6, 2026 | The Lion’s Den
This night is bigger than basketball.
Before the final buzzer sounds, Lithia Springs High School will honor a true legend as the Lady Lions face New Manchester and formally retire the jersey of Demeara Hinds, Class of 2020—a player who didn’t just play the game, she set the standard.
The only Lady Lion in school history to reach 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, Demeara finished her career as the all-time rebound leader (1,094) and shot-block leader (245), defining an era with toughness, leadership, and relentless effort. When the moment mattered most, she delivered - leading championship runs, historic performances, and a young team to unforgettable wins.
From the Lion’s Den to the ACC, Demeara’s journey represents what’s possible when preparation meets purpose.
The jersey retirement ceremony will take place immediately following the varsity girls game. Alumni, students, families, and the community are invited to pack the Den and celebrate No. 25, forever a Lady Lion, forever a legend.
Purchase Tickets - Tickets for the game can be purchased at the following link: https://gofan.co/event/5413337?schoolId=GA5121

☀️ DCSS to Reopen Tuesday Following Winter Weather Closure
The Douglas County School System and the Douglas County Emergency Management Agency have been closely monitoring weather and road conditions over the past several days. The winter weather event that caused Monday's closure has moved out of our area, and safer road conditions have returned.
As a result, all schools and offices will resume normal operations on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
All regular schedules, including before- and after-school activities, will operate as normal. Our administrators and the district operations department will continue to monitor conditions at all schools and will alert us immediately if conditions change.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritized the safety of our students and staff. We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow.
☀️ Asunto: El DCSS abrirá el martes después del cierre del Clima Invernal
El Sistema Escolar del Condado de Douglas y la Agencia de Manejo de Emergencias del Condado de Douglas han estado monitoreando de cerca las condiciones climáticas y las carreteras durante los últimos días. El evento de clima invernal que causó el cierre del lunes se ha desplazado fuera de nuestra zona, y las condiciones de seguridad vial han regresado.
Como resultado, todas las escuelas y oficinas reanudarán sus operaciones normales el martes 27 de enero del 2026.
Todos los horarios regulares, incluyendo las actividades de antes y después de la escuela, funcionarán normalmente. Nuestros administradores y el departamento de operaciones del distrito continuarán monitoreando las condiciones en todas las escuelas y nos alertarán inmediatamente si las condiciones cambian.
Agradecemos sinceramente su paciencia y comprensión mientras priorizamos la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Esperamos darles la bienvenida mañana.
