Our auditorium holds 500 students and is the center for Orchestra and Choral instruction, as well as a place where students gather for assemblies. Our fields are shared with the town to host soccer and other sporting events.
Computer programming/literacy, and STEM Innovation/Design are integrated into the elementary curriculum. For the elementary schools, teacher training has been ongoing since 2015 in the Next Generation Science Standards and STEAM. The 1:1 computer initiative has enabled teachers to infuse technology into instruction at the middle and high school levels. This includes using class management/instruction/productivity apps, modeling/simulation programs and probeware for data collection and analysis. Makerspaces have emerged, allowing students to experiment and create as they problem-solve. All students participate in a Tech and Business/Computers course in grades 6, 7, & 8. AP Computer Science A and CS Principles are currently offered at the high school level. LHS Students can take a wide variety of STEM-related electives in the Science, Math, Technology/ Design/Engineering, Art, Music, and Business areas and have access to wide variety of Makerspace/CNC equipment.
