A paws-itively great way to start the day 🐾
Thanks to the support of the PPA Group, our students enjoyed a stress-reducing visit from therapy dogs just in time for exams. A special thank you to the Crisis Response Team for bringing their incredible dogs to campus to help ease anxiety and create calm, positive connections for our students.
While these dogs are primarily trained for crisis response, visits like this help build familiarity and comfort in everyday moments too.
Duke and Dolly stole the show! 💙

Lima Central Catholic was proud to take part in the Swearing-In Ceremony of Mayor Sharetta Smith. 🇺🇸
A talented quintet of LCC students opened the event with a beautiful performance of the National Anthem, showcasing the dedication and spirit of our Thunderbird musicians. We were also excited to have senior Jacob Raczynski assist with the day’s activities—an incredible opportunity made possible through his year-long internship in the Mayor’s Office.
Congratulations, Mayor Smith, and thank you for allowing LCC students to be part of this meaningful day for our community! 💙❤️🤍
