Thank you to Detective Hankins of the @LexingtonPolice for providing an excellent tour of the station to our Introduction to the Law students. They are very interested in careers in law enforcement and this was a tremendous experience for them!

On this #VeteransDay, thinking about all who have served including my grandfather John McHugh (WWII Pacific Army Air Corps), grandfather Tom Dunne (fresh off the boat from Ireland, US Army, WWI), and brother-in-law Ben (US Army, Gulf War). Thank you to all! 🇺🇸

I was living in Detroit (almost 1 year old) when the Edmund Fitzgerald was lost to a watery grave. My mom still tears up when she hears the song.
Wishing a happy #VeteransDay to all who served. 🇺🇸 LHS students Sophia Kao & Magnolia Newman spoke at the Lexington Veterans Association breakfast, and many LHS students had their veteran interviews published by the LVA. Thanks to teacher Mike Egbert for coordinating this effort!
Our SUPA (Syracuse University Project Advance) dual enrollment personal finance classes are going great! We had a special visit this week by economics professor emeritus Don Dutkowsky, who designed the course. Mr. Gardner & Mr. Unger are doing a great job teaching it!
Lots of Halloween fun today! Our history teachers got in on the action with a tribute to Jane Goodall🐒 and Paul Revere 🏇.
Thank you to the Honorable Kevin Smith, Massachusetts land court judge, for visiting our Intro to Law classes at Lexington High School and taking questions from students. It turns out that land court has lots of drama, And it was very interesting to hear about it!
A million thanks to Discovering Justice for our Introduction to the Law field trip to the Moakley Federal courthouse in Boston today. We were able to meet with United States judge Allison Burroughs and observe a plea bargain in an interstate theft and conspiracy case. ⚖️👩⚖️
