Our Goals

It is the utmost priority of the Lincoln Sudbury School Committee to ensure Lincoln-Sudbury (LS) Regional High School remains a place of optimal learning, growth, and development.

​

As a governing body, it is the role of the LS School Committee to take action to ensure our school conducts itself in accordance with its values, principles, and purpose. These principles will inform the LS School Committee in decision making related to budget, resource allocation, policy development, and evaluation of the Superintendent/Principal. This work shall be completed by June 30, 2025.

In collaboration with the Superintendent/Principal, the LS School Committee commits to the following goals.
