School Committee The Lexington School Committee consists of a group of inter- ested townspeople who meet regularly to plan for improve- ments and changes in our present educational system, Through their foresight and careful planning, we of Lexing- ton High School have been fortunate to have the newest facilities and teaching methods. Continual progress is their motto and through the past few years many changes have been made to keep Lexington’s school system at a very high standard. This committee represents a “‘first’’ in educational prog- ress, for it was the first such group in the history of Massa- chusetts, having its beginnings in 1821. It was through the efforts of this body that the law was passed requiring a school committee in every Massachusetts town. Thus, well over a century ago, Lexington was proving herself a leader in education.
