Earlier this month we celebrated International Women’s Day. Not only on that day, but every day, we are proud of what our female graduates have accomplished for themselves and their country. Here are a few:
After the COVID-19 pandemic brought her final year at LCS to a halt last March, Lyncée C. (LCS ’20) looked for ways to stay engaged and active during a challenging time. After entering a national essay competition held by the Haitian cultural institution Centre Muse Haiti about the pandemic, Lyncée placed third overall in the contest.
Stephane C. is well aware of the many challenges facing her fellow Haitians. After receiving a university scholarship from the LCS Dulcich Center for Career Advancement, Stephane decided to pursue her studies in agronomy. "One of the best ways to reduce poverty and specifically hunger in Haiti is through agriculture," she says.
After receiving a scholarship from the LCS Dulcich Center for Career Advancement and earning her degree in administrative sciences, Myrlande A. (LCS ’10) now works at one of the largest banks in Haiti, Unibank S.A.
AND COMING SOON...
Whether navigating the COVID-19 pandemic or some of the other difficulties that have challenged Haiti in recent years, many LCS Alumni can be found on the frontlines, leading initiatives for positive change for their country. One such alumna is Linsey Francesca J. (LCS ’13), who has dedicated herself to the study of medicine.

Seeking 360 Community members to support LCS!
As we prepare to break ground on our second school, we are relying on our strong community of supporters to ensure that our flagship LCS outside of Port-au-Prince is covered for the upcoming school year and for years to come. Specifically, we are developing a group of 360 donors—the number of students at LCS—to commit to an annual gift of $1,900, which is the direct cost of one year of education for one student at LCS.
