Calling all LEC Alumni!

Before we celebrate the Class of 2026, we invite our alumni to come home to Lee Early College for a special Alumni Reception on Wednesday, May 27, 2026 from 5:00–6:30 PM at the Civic Center.

Reconnect with former classmates and teachers, reminisce on your time at LEC, and celebrate the legacy of the Cobra family before graduation begins at 7:00 PM.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Once a Cobra, ALWAYS a Cobra. ❤️🖤

Dear LEC Families,

This is one of those special times of year at Lee Early College where everything comes together: hard work, growth, celebration, and a little bit of reflection.

This week, we are celebrating two groups who truly define our school:

🍎 Our Teachers & Staff
During Teacher Appreciation Week, we recognize the people who show up every day for our students. Not only do they teach content, but they also build relationships, set high expectations, and create opportunities. Their impact is real, and it matters.

🎓 The Class of 2026
