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. The original Lyman building burned down, and the school was re-built on Route 207. This second building became Lebanon Middle School after the present-day Lyman Memorial building was built in the mid-1990s.

The current high school is located at 917 Exeter Road, Lebanon, Connecticut 06249. Its principal is James Apicelli, and its assistant principal is Samantha McCarthy.[1] 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.

Extracurricular activities

Lyman's sports teams are nicknamed the Bulldogs, and Lyman historically has very strong soccer and cross country teams. 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. Lyman also features a chorus program, directed by Emily Blanchard.

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.[2]
