{"A":"Louisa County Public Schools","B":"LCHS Cybersecurity","C":"Louisa County Public Schools implemented a new Cybersecurity Pathway at Louisa County High School beginning in August 2021. To support this initiative, LCPS applied for a national grant and won $100,000 through the Rural Tech Project.  LCPS was awarded this money and recognized as one of five winning school divisions in the nation for the implementation of this program and is now competing for an additional $100,000 at the end of 2023.    We have had tremendous interest in the courses with full enrollment in all of the sections, inclusive of a virtual option for students.  The course satisfaction surveys from Semester 1 provided resounding positive feedback not only about the instructor, but the course content and engaging hands-on activities. The emphasis on providing these meaningful experiences to support the course competencies has generated excitement for the pathway. The Cybersecurity classroom has been designed and created to support hands-on activities with new servers, dual monitors, and two TVs showing real-time cyber-attacks around the world. Additionally, we have had a great response from the industry partners to serve as a support system for our students.
