Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School

What Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School does

Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School is a public regional secondary school operated by the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District, a government entity in Massachusetts. Established circa 1950 and located at 390 Lincoln Road, Sudbury, the school serves students in grades 9-12 residing in the towns of Lincoln and Sudbury, with supplemental enrollment drawn from Boston through the state-funded METCO program. The institution delivers a college-preparatory curriculum across nine academic departments — Computer Science, English, FATA (Fine Arts, Theatre, Audio), History, Language, Mathematics, Science, Wellness, and Special Education — augmented by counseling, mental health services, a multi-tier Special Education suite (ACE, Beacon, Compass, Excel, L-S Academy, Link, Partners, Reach), and student support programs including the Academic Support Center and Reach.

The school's technology layer is built on standard K-12 administrative and communications platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: ParentSquare serves as the primary family communication channel (with Google OAuth and Microsoft 365 SSO), Aspen functions as the Student Information System for transcripts and records, MySchoolBucks and UniPay process fee payments, NutriSlice publishes cafeteria menus, FamilyID handles athletics registration, AppSheet supports no-code internal apps (e.g., scholarships), and Vimeo hosts video content. The Computer Science department delivers AP Computer Science Principles using Harvard University's CS50 AP curriculum. The institution publishes The Forum student newspaper and The Fountain arts/literary journal annually and produces a yearbook that sold out in 2026.

The business model is government-funded: primary revenue comes from municipal appropriations from Lincoln and Sudbury plus Massachusetts state education aid, routed through the regional school district budget. Ancillary revenue is marginal and includes one-time student fees (yearbooks at $160-$530, parking permits at $300 with a cap of ~360 annually), a non-profit Adult & Community Education program with annual registration, and building/field rental fees. Five independent 501(c)(3) organizations — LSPO (parent organization), FELS (teacher enrichment grants since 2000, ~160 grants totaling ~$210,000), SERF (Sudbury Education Resource Fund), LS Scholarship Fund Dollars for Scholars ($5M+ awarded since 1976), and LS Friends of Music — provide community-funded enrichment that supplements the district budget. Governance is provided by an elected School Committee, with Andrew Stephens serving as Superintendent/Principal.
