Support the Lexington High School Building Project
Lexington High School faces extreme overcrowding, inadequate facilities, failing infrastructure, and undersized educational spaces. Join the Yes for Lexington campaign in supporting the much needed and long overdue Lexington High School Building Project to address these issues.
Yes for Lexington supports the passage of a debt exclusion to fund a new or renovated LHS. Stay informed, raise awareness, and join Yes for Lexington in bringing residents together to support this critical project.
Want to make your voice heard? Contact the Select Board before their November 4 Summit with other town committees to share your reasons for supporting the project.

In March 2022, the Town of Lexington was invited into the Eligibility Period for the Massachusetts School Building Authority’s (MSBA) grant program to help fund a new or renovated Lexington High School. Partnering with the MSBA for a building project imposes a rigorous process of careful evaluation and data-driven decisions before their board of directors approves our final plan.
Over the last two and a half years, there have been hundreds of public meetings, subcommittee meetings, focus groups, visioning sessions, and community-wide forums to develop and assess project siting and design options to meet our community’s educational needs.
On November 12, 2024, the School Building Committee (SBC) will vote to select their preferred design option. The SBC will submit this preferred option - the most cost-effective and educationally appropriate preliminary design and preferred schematic - to the MSBA. The preferred option will move forward into the Schematic Design phase of the project.
