Louisa County High School

Mr. Lee Downey - Principal 

LCHS Family, I am very excited to begin the 2019-20 school year in our beautiful LCHS building. With high expectations, accountability, caring, and hard work this school year is bound to be the greatest for LCHS. We want to continue to be a leader amongst all high schools in the commonwealth. Our focus this year continues to be ONE Family! It is very important to me and the LCHS Staff to foster an environment which will build a family atmosphere for all students with everything we do. Louisa County is dear to my heart as my wife Jennifer (teacher at LCMS) and I are raising our family here. We have three beautiful children (Alexis, Connor, and Jocelyn), Alexis is entering 10th grade at LCMS, Connor is in 8th grade at LCMS, and Jocelyn is in Second at Thomas Jefferson Elementary. Let’s work TOGETHER to achieve the high expectations we set for ourselves. Please feel free to contact me at any time here at LCHS as I have an open door policy, or you can call me at (540)894-5436. Thank you so much and Game On, Lions!

Mr. Todd Ryan - Director of Guidance and Counseling

This is my 17th year as the Director of School Counseling at Louisa County High School. I graduated from James Madison University with a B.S. in Social Science Secondary Education in 1993.

My counseling responsibilities include all Blue Ridge Virtual Governor's School (BRVGS) students. However, as with all of the counselors at LCHS, I am available to counsel and guide any student at this school.

I believe I have stumbled upon the greatest job in the world and hope that I get the opportunity to meet every student in this building.
