At Lexington High School, I love all of the teachers and staff. If something could change, I wish we had tougher classes. The sports are all competitive, and I enjoyed every sport that I participated in.

Well diverse group of students. Teachers are friendly and are wanting students to succeed. The sports teams are willing to work to win. The food has its days where it is the best, but other days it is bland.
