Lice is no respecter of persons.  It does not matter if you are rich or poor, clean or dirty, sick or not sick.... those nasty little critters don't care.  Anyone can get lice.  Children seem to have a much easier time getting it simply because they play harder, they share more, and they often aren't aware or don't take the time to think about how to avoid it.  The hard fact is that it is possible for your child to come home with lice.  If they complain of their head itching, if you notice them scratching, take a moment to check their head.  Here are some helpful articles about lice and how to get rid of it.
