Homecoming Week Schedule !!
Thinking outside the box helped us achieve a level 5 status but we had a little fun today at Parent-Teacher Conference inside the box.
A Piece of History Returns to LHS
This week, Lexington High School received a very special gift from an anonymous donor — an almost pristine copy of the very first LHS yearbook from 1925!
Did you know? LHS opened in 1909 and graduated its first class in 1912. And here’s a fun fact — we weren’t always the Tigers! In the beginning, we were known as the Yellowjackets, which is why the very first yearbook was titled “The Black and Gold.”
A few more fun yearbook facts:
📖 1925 – The first yearbook, “The Black and Gold,” was published by the class of 1925.
📖 1926 & 1927 – Yearbooks were also printed.
📖 1938 – The class created “The Minuteman,” but sadly, it was never printed.
📖 1947 – After 20 years, “The Tiger” returned with help from photographer William Arnold.
📖 1952 – The yearbook carried the name “The Cotton Boll,” but has since been “The Tiger.”
We are so thankful for this donation that helps preserve a piece of our school’s story.

Lexington High School Named a Level 5 School for 2024–2025
Lexington High School has once again demonstrated its tradition of excellence, earning the distinction of being named a Level 5 School for the 2024–2025 school year. This achievement reflects the hard work of students, the dedication of teachers, and the support of families and the community who believe in the mission of academic success at LHS.
In Tennessee, Level 5 is the highest rating schools can achieve on the state’s accountability scale, which measures student academic growth. Reaching this level signifies that students at Lexington High School are making progress at the top level statewide, showing exceptional gains in their learning and mastery of key subjects.
This honor highlights the commitment of the Lexington High School faculty and staff to creating a learning environment where students are challenged and supported in reaching their full potential. It also affirms the school’s long-standing tradition of excellence, built on decades of hard work, high expectations, and a deep belief in the power of education to open doors for young people.
While the Level 5 distinction is a significant milestone, the state will announce Grade Levels and Reward School designations in December, giving schools across Tennessee another opportunity to showcase their progress.
Lexington High School is proud of this accomplishment and looks forward to continuing to build on this success as it prepares students for bright futures.
