== Education == [[Image:LewisCountyKYSchoolComplex.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A view of the Lewis County Middle School near Vanceburg from [[Kentucky Route 10|KY 10]]]] The residents of Lewis County are served by the [[Lewis County Schools, Kentucky|Lewis County Schools]]. There are four elementary schools, a middle school for 7th and 8th graders, and an adjacent high school on [[Kentucky Route 10|KY 10]], the AA Highway. The elementary schools are Lewis County Central in Vanceburg; Garrison Elementary, east of Vanceburg in the community of Garrison; Tollesboro Elementary, west of Vanceburg in the community of Tollesboro; and Laurel Elementary, southeast of Vanceburg. LCHS hwas a nationally distinguished school in 2015, 2016 and 2018. Elementary Schools: * [[Lewis County Central Elementary School, Vanceburg.]] Mascot-Lions, Colors-Royal blue, red, and white. * [[Garrison Elementary School, Garrison.]] Mascot-Patriots, Colors-Red, black, and white. * [[Tollesboro Elementary School, Tollesboro.]] Mascot-Wildcats, Colors-Royal blue, yellow, and white. * [[Laurel Elementary School, Laurel.]] Mascot-Bombers, Colors-Kelly green and white. Middle Schools: * [[Lewis County Middle School, Vanceburg.]] Mascot-Lions, Colors-Royal blue, red, and white. High Schools: * [[Lewis County High School (Vanceburg, Kentucky)|Lewis County High School, Vanceburg.]] Mascot-Lions, Colors-Royal blue, red, and white. Closed Schools: * [[Tollesboro High School, Tollesboro.]] Closed in 1994 due to low enrollment and loss of state funding. This was an issue that caused controversy within the county as Tollesboro High and Lewis County High had a long-standing, bitter rivalry. Tollesboro officials and residents claimed that the closure of the school by the Lewis County Board of Education was not justified, and some went so far as to send their children to schools in surrounding counties, such as Mason and Fleming. However, with time, the controversy died down. The main Tollesboro school building and Field Hall, with a gymnasium, still stand just off of KY 57 near the intersection with old Highway 10. The building was for a short time used as the Tollesboro Christian Academy. * [[Laurel High School, Laurel.]] The building burned in the late 1930s. It was made of local stone which was largely undamaged by the fire, so the exterior could have been reused, but the interior was burned beyond repair. Students in the Laurel area went to Lewis County High School. The building sat just off the intersection of KY 59 and highway 1068 (near Laurel Point). The remnants of the building are still visible today.
