The Lisbon Central School Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society is open to students in grades 7 and 8. Students who get on the honor roll and who demonstrate attributes of leadership, citizenship, character and service are inducted into the Society. We promote academic achievement and service to the community in all of our activities.

During the 2006-07 school year they sponsored the following activities:  New London County Food Drive, 1^st Annual Lisbon “Can-Struction” Food Drive, Senior Citizen Holiday Luncheon, Christmas Caroling to the elderly, School-wide Talent Show which raised $1400.00 for the Chikumbusso Widows Project which helps AIDS ravaged families in Zambia, 3rd Annual Family Science Night and many other student oriented programs.  One of the NJHS members sponsored his own coat drive in our school, collecting coats and other winter items for the needy.

The LCS Environmental Club is open to 7th and 8th Graders. Over the years project focus has varied from storm drain painting initiatives, retail development concerns, nature trail development and ground water contamination. Through the Environmental Club students get a better understanding of public safety while becoming influential advocates as they work to improve the world in which they live.

They were awarded $1000.00 and “Best  Community Awareness Project” at the Symposium for Environment sponsored by Wheelabrator, promoting environmental awareness and stewardship in Lisbon through the creation of a Haunted Nature Trail Activity in the fall and wildlife projects on the school’s nature trail in the winter and spring, the promotion of low energy light bulb use and the switch of energy suppliers to our municipality from fossil fuels to green energy, the public showing of “An Inconvenience Truth and much more.

Lisbon Central School competes in the State of Connecticut Middle School Mock Trial Competition in December of every year.  The students are given a case and they are to take a part on either the defense or the plaintiff/prosecution side.  There are parts for three attorneys, three witnesses, one timer, and a one bailiff.  Selection for the parts takes place in late September and the students attend an all day workshop sponsored by the CT Bar Association to help them train to be an attorney or a witness. The Mock Trial is open to 7^th and 8^th graders.
