We are carrying out an ongoing systematic search for bright, strongly-lensed, high-redshift galaxies in samples of SDSS luminous red galaxies, clusters, and interacting/merging galaxy pairs. So far we have spectroscopically confirmed a dozen lensing systems, with source galaxy redshifts z = 0.4 - 2.7, with 6 of these among the brightest known z > 2 lensed galaxies, including the 8 O'Clock Arc. Here we will describe our search program and our sample, including results on lens system modeling and mass-to-light ratios, as well as our optical and IR follow-up observations using ground- and space-based telescopes, including Gemini, HST, and Spitzer.
