Preserving traditions, building the future.

LMS has benefitted from incredible parent and community support since its founding in 1878. Your support helps the school fulfill its vision of providing a safe and nurturing environment that cultivates students into educated, productive, and honorable citizens of the 21st century. 

The heart of our community.

Getting involved with the LMS PTA empowers you to play a role in your child's education while impacting our community, as the health of the school and town are inextricably linked.

The town of Lookout Mountain, TN, and the PTA partner to provide additional resources and advocacy, including a dedicated School Board and a Commissioner of Education. 

Remarkably, the town and PTA currently support eight staff positions in addition to critical initiatives in school safety, facility updates, and technology. 

One Lookout

One Lookout's first initiative is to transform the aging football field behind LMS—originally built in the 1960s—into a vibrant, multi-use turf field. This first phase is just the beginning of a vision to create more inclusive, accessible recreational space for generations to come.
