Notable alumni
iPads
During the fall of the 2011-2012 school year, Lexington High School began issuing Apple iPads to students as a way to give students access to the most current information available through the Internet. The iPads were purchased as part of the voter-approved 2008 bond referendum. This referendum included $15 million to expand and upgrade existing technology in all schools within the district.
