[edit] History

In the early 1950s, SAU 88 decided to build a new high school for all students in Lebanon. Prior to this decision, students in Lebanon attended high school at the present day Junior High School while West Lebanon high schoolers went to Seminary Hill School in that village. In 195- the high school was completed and in 195- the first class was graduated.

Over the next 20 years 9th graders in the district would attend the Junior High School instead of the High School. In 197- this changed as the first true freshman class entered the school.

LHS's first mascot was the Agamek Indian. However, complaints in 2003 replaced this mascot with a Viking. After this years with the new mascot was again changed to today's raider bird. The LHS Alumni Association still uses the Agamek as its mascot.
