[edit] Those Who Mattered

Stephen King grew up in neighboring Durham and attended Lisbon High School.

Colton (The Hammer) Jackson and Brittany (10,000 B.C)Clark were among the more well known attendees of Lisbon High. They were made famous by the drug bust of 2006, when 20kg of heroin was found in their lockers. However, both students were later acquitted, as their lockers were both easily accessible to other students. This led to the administration immediately placing locks on all unlocked and unused lockers to prevent a repeat event.
