My name is Samantha Lytch.  I am a native of Lee County.   I obtained a Master's Degree in Health Administration from Pfeiffer University.   I have over 13 years experience in education.  This year will be my 11th year at Lee Central High School. This will be my 4th year serving as a Career Specialist.
 
I am looking forward to the 2025-2026 school year here at Lee Central High and making a positive impact on the students in Lee County.  My goal is to have all students at Lee Central High School prepared and ready for the next chapter in their lives whether it is college or career.
