Our students, in turn have prospered from the unfailing commitment and support of a dedicated LPS staff and school board, and an unbelievably generous community. Lexington is truly one of a kind and perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the state.” The mission of Lexington Public Schools is to develop capable and responsible lifelong learners.
