The B-L High School JROTC hosted a moving ceremony this morning to remember and honor the lives forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001.

Students, staff, and local veterans gathered together to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and service demonstrated that day and in the years that followed.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Today, Lexington Three students are taking time to remember September 11, 2001 through a variety of age-appropriate activities and classroom lessons.

At 8:46 a.m., the time American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, our schools observed a moment of silence to honor the lives lost and the many individuals whose lives were forever changed.

Throughout the day, we’ll be sharing additional glimpses of how our Lexington Three schools and students are honoring September 11 through meaningful activities, lessons, and moments of reflection.

We will always remember.

Back in May, we unveiled the first video in a special series at the Class of 2026 graduation.

Tonight, under the lights at Panther Stadium, we released the second video in the series — one that celebrates the heart of athletics in Lexington County School District Three.

It’s the grit. The grind. The focus. The discipline. The early mornings. The late evenings. The long practices. The setbacks. The victories. The relentless work.

This is what it means to wear the purple and gold.

This is what it means to be a Panther athlete.

We are Batesburg-Leesville.
