The Steering Committee is a group of students, faculty, and parents from a specific graduating class who will meet regularly to support the student club members while they plan and carry out activities that foster class unity. This includes fundraising activities that are used to defray the cost of the Junior and Senior Proms, make possible other large class events, fund Senior Week activities and enhance each student’s time at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School.

LS is organized in a house system: East, West North and South Houses. Ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade students are divided among the four houses. Each house is staffed by an associate principal, guidance counselors, and a house assistant, with access to a clinical counselor and curriculum/scheduling support. Additional services are provided through Special Education. Each student has a mailbox in their house office that they should check regularly for notices.

You can, but make sure your student is not trying out for a fall sport (if that’s the case, then no, you cannot plan vacations until the day before school)

Yes, but there is a very short period of time to do so. Students need to communicate with their counselor.

Advanced Placement Program® courses are offered in Biology, Calculus AB and BC, Chemistry, Computer Science Principles, Physics C:Mechanics, Statistics, 2-D Art & Design, and U.S. History.

Yes, but we suggest they talk to their counselor to make sure their schedule and course load will be well balanced.

Yes. However, taking two languages will use the spot of another elective so the student will have fewer electives. We suggest talking to their counselor before deciding course elections.

Students are expected to be accountable for their own studies and communication with teachers. Parents can get access to information through different means (Aspen-Follett, LSPO newsletters, Superintendent’s emails and LS administrative emails, LSRHS website, LSPO website, LSPO FB page). Parents are invited to participate in LSPO sponsored events, volunteer at the LSPO and support teacher lead initiatives.

Colleges like to see at least two (2) years of one language.

Bring a hat, water and sunscreen! If you want to be close to the podium, get there early. Students can decorate their caps, which makes it easier to spot them from behind.

LS will send out an email for you to buy your senior’s cap and gown. You can also borrow from previous students since the cap and gown is the same one.

Any student can order a Yearbook; however, some students only choose to do so during their senior year. Visit the LSRHS Yearbook page for information about purchasing a yearbook as well as pricing, deadlines, senior portraits, senior quotes and senior dedications.

Most Fall varsity sports have tryouts BEFORE the beginning of the school year. Usually, tryouts are held the week before school starts. You can check the school athletic webpage.

Most varsity teams practice 5 or 6 days a week. Athletes cannot skip practices due to homework, other sports and clubs or other commitments. If your student has to miss a practice, he/she/they need to communicate with the coach. In most cases, this might impact their ability to participate in the following meet/tournament. Athletes need to abide to MIAA rule.

LS Varsity sports have a bona fide rule which implies athletes commit to the team, practices and games. This means athletes cannot skip practices or games due to other sports (or clubs).

LS does not have a pool; the Swim and Dive team practices at Atkinson pool at Sudbury Park and Recreation Center, 40 Fairbank Rd. Students organize carpools to get to practice.
