Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School (LSRHS) is located at 390 Lincoln Road in Sudbury, MA. Describes itself as as, "a different kind of place." Its current principal-superintendent is Dr. John Ritchie.
The Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District was created in 1954, and the doors of the Regional High School opened to students of both towns in 1956. Previously, Lincoln, MA did not have its own high school; instead its students went to neighboring schools.
The original LSRHS has since been demolished and paved over to provide a parking lot for the new LSRHS, located next to the old building. Construction began on the new building in June 2002, and was completed in time for the beginning of the 2004-2005 academic year. The old building was very dear to many students due to its uniqueness, especially because of the array of mural that decorated the halls. But, the building was in need of significant maintenance, and a new school proved to be the smarter option for the town and state. The new school is often regarded as too symmetrical and too white.
In 2006, at the NOSB Nationals in California, LS won the national championship after coming in second the year before. Teams from the school won both the National Science Bowl and National Ocean Sciences Bowl regionals, carrying on the school's tradition of excellence in science. The LS NOSB Team placed first and second at their state regional cometition and as stated above, carried on to win the nationals. The DOE National Science Bowl team placed in the Top 8 at the National Department of Energy Science Bowl, hosted by the United States Department of Energy in Washington DC in the school's first appearance at the National Science Bowl finals.
Lincoln-Sudbury is rivals with Lexington High School and Acton-Boxboro High School, in the academic and athletic arenas respectively.
