Administration

Dr. Nathan Wilkerson has served in a variety of educational roles over his career, all focused on empowering students and supporting staff growth. He began his career as a high school English teacher and football coach, serving in that role for five years before transitioning into administration. Dr. Wilkerson spent two years as the principal of a small rural district's middle and high schools, followed by two years as an assistant principal at Lebanon Middle School. He then served as Lead Principal at LMS for two years before assuming his current position as Director of Career Education in 2024.

Dr. Wilkerson holds a Bachelor’s degree from Southeast Missouri State University, a Master’s degree from Columbia College, a Specialist degree from Southeast Missouri State University, and a Doctorate from the University of the Cumberlands.

Brian Jackson serves as the Assistant Director of Career Education for the Lebanon R-III School District, with primary responsibilities at the Lebanon Technology and Career Center (LTCC). He began his career with LR3 in the fall of 2010 as the Embedded Math teacher at LTCC. After his first year, he transitioned to lead the PC Repair/Computer Networking program, a position he held for 11 years. During that time, he also taught Robotics and Exploring Trades and became certified in Project Lead The Way, earning certifications in Principles of Engineering (2014) and Civil Engineering & Architecture (2015). In the fall of 2022, Brian stepped into his current administrative role at LTCC.

A proud 1983 graduate of Lebanon High School and the former Laclede Area Vocational School (now LTCC), Brian finds it humbling to serve in the same hallways he once walked as a student.

Outside of his administrative duties, Brian and his wife, Aide’, have been active supporters of student activities, coaching Robotics for several years and founding the high school bowling team during the 2019–2020 school year. Education is a family passion: all three of Brian’s children and two stepchildren graduated from LHS, one of his daughters is now an educator at LHS, and his wife also serves as an educator within the Lebanon R-III School District.
