Lyman Memorial High School is an American high school in Lebanon, Connecticut. It has a very large agricultural program that, with its computer science classes, attracts students from neighboring communities, especially Columbia and Hampton.[citation needed] The school has approximately 500 students with about 100 students in each grade.[citation needed]

History[]

Lyman Memorial was originally built on the Lebanon Green (at the site where the Lebanon Town Hall now sits) and was funded by a generous donation from the Lyman family.[citation needed] The original Lyman building burned down, and the school was re-built on Route 207.[citation needed] This second building became Lebanon Middle School after the present-day Lyman Memorial building was built in the mid-1990s.[citation needed]

The principal is James Apicelli, and its assistant principal is Samantha McCarthy.[2] The current building was completed in 1992; the first class whose members had spent their entire high school career at Lyman graduated in 1996. At the time, the school had a surprisingly modern computer system, running Novell NetWare and Windows 3.11. Most of this was paid for by donations from Bill Gates.[citation needed]

Extracurricular activities[]

Lyman's sports teams are nicknamed the Bulldogs, and Lyman historically has very strong soccer and cross country teams.[citation needed] Other athletic programs include basketball, indoor track, wrestling, baseball, softball, volleyball, track and field, tennis, a co-op ice hockey team with Bolton High School, Rockville High School, and Coventry High School, and a co-op football team with Coventry, Windham Tech, and Bolton which went 10-0 in 2017 and won the Pequot League Championship.[citation needed] Lyman also features a chorus program, directed by Emily Blanchard.[citation needed]

Accreditation[]

Lyman Memorial High School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., a nongovernmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post-graduate instruction.[3]
