School Notes:
  • Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School (LSRHS) is located at 390 Lincoln Road in Sudbury, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
  • History: The Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District was established in 1954, integrating the former Sudbury High School with students from the nearby town of Lincoln, Massachusetts. Previously, the town of Lincoln did not have its own high school; it sent its students to neighboring towns' schools.
  • In June 2002, the towns of Lincoln and Sudbury began a $74 million dollar project to build a new high school near the site of the original building. The old LSRHS building was demolished and paved over to provide a parking lot for the new LSRHS. The new LSRHS was completed in time for the beginning of the 2004-2005 academic year. Among other features, the new school sports a massive gymnasium, the centerpiece of one of the state's best athletic facilities.
  • The old building was greatly beloved by many students due to its quirky uniqueness, including the arrays of student murals that decorated the halls. The original building, which opened in 1957, was in extremely poor condition and needed extensive maintenance. Although renovation of the facility was considered, the construction of an entirely new school proved to be the more economical choice. The new school is not without its critics; it is often cited as being too white and "antiseptic," like a hospital.
  • The school board has also indicated that they plan to undertake the creation of a new football field and surrounding track to replace the old one, which remains from the old building. The projected costs are currently in the range of $1-2 million USD.
  • Science teams
  • National Ocean Science Bowl team:
  • LSRHS's strong tradition of academic excellence is demonstrated by the recent success of its science teams. In 2006, Lincoln-Sudbury's National Ocean Sciences Bowl Team (NOSB) won the National Championship by competing at the National Finals held in Monterey, California. The team was led by chemistry teacher and coach Douglas Grant. This victory came after being the runners-up a year before at the National Championships in Biloxi, Mississippi. At the regional level, a team from LSRHS has won the Massachusetts Regional, or Blue Lobster Bowl, of NOSB every year for the past four years. In 2006, LS Team A (Varsity) and LS Team B (Junior Varsity) took first and second respectively. In 2007, LS Team A once again took first and LSB took 5th.
  • Department of Energy National Science Bowl team: In 2006, a team from the school also won the National Science Bowl (NSB) regional competition. Out of 64 teams, the LSRHS team tied for fifth at the US Department of Energy's National Science Bowl in Washington DC. This was LSRHS's first appearance at the National Science Bowl finals. Their achievement was rewarded with a one thousand dollar (USD) donation to the high school, and was remarkably the last public school standing in the final rounds.
  • Drama department: The Lincoln-Sudbury Drama Department is well-known for performing material above high school level, giving it a long-standing reputation of excellence. Works by Shakespeare, Pirandello, and Sor Juana have been performed. The Laramie Project, Into the Woods, and Little Shop of Horrors were included in the recent repertoire.
  • Bill Plott, part of the Drama Department for over thirty years, is known for innovative approaches to Shakespearean literature. Although he "hates musicals," he often incorporates music into his productions. In the past three years, he put on Hamlet (2005; using Tom Waits music); A Midsummer Night's Dream (2004; using Motown music); and As You Like It (2003; using psychedelic rock music).
  • The current drama director, Carly Evans, is putting on Stop Kiss Steal Kiss, a combination of two plays, whose opening night will be January, 2007, and Carly will be putting on a spring production as well.
  • Athletics: Lincoln-Sudbury has a long standing reputation of both academic and athletic excellence. With the construction of the new school buildings, a considerable investment was put into the new artificial turf fields, among other things. In addition to their current facilities, the school board also plans to construct a new football field and track to replace the old one.
  • Many Lincoln-Sudbury Varsity teams have experienced success not only within the Dual County League, but also on the state level. In 2002, the boys soccer team won the division II state championship. In 2003, the girls soccer team claimed the division I state title. The baseball team won the division II championship in 2005, and the girls track team won their respective title in 2006. The boys lacrosse program is known perennially for its statewide excellence. The girls' swim team and men's golf team are also well respected.
  • Lincoln-Sudbury has a longstanding athletic rivalry with Acton-Boxborough Regional High School, especially in football.
  • In 2006, LSRHS's ultimate team, "Taco Wagon," played at the high school nationals, placing 10th overall. They went on to achieve 2nd place at the Massachusetts state tournament, losing to Amherst Regional High School, the defending national champions for many years.
  • In recent years, the school's rugby team, headed by Iain Ryrie, has begun to gain momentum: it placed second in the state finals last year. It continues to be a club sport. However, beginning in the 2007-2008 school year it will be considered a varsity sport.
  • Notable Alumni: John Linnell and John Flansburgh, founders of the band They Might Be Giants.
  • Chris Evans '99, from movies such as Fantastic Four and Not Another Teen Movie.
  • Mike Gordon, bassist from the band Phish.
  • Ashley Richardson, 1980s supermodel.
  • Paula Poundstone, comedian (dropout).
  • Jon Budinoff, actor from Transamerica and Law & Order.
  • Mike Croel, NFL linebacker from 1991 to 1998.
