Lexington School District Two Home

    Spring is here, and that means we're fast approaching the end of the school year.

    It's been a busy one.

    We opened two new schools this past fall, Riverbank Elementary and the Lexington Two Innovation Center, both equipped with state-of-the-art academic spaces and the latest building safety features. We opened the new athletics arena at Brookland-Cayce High, and the renovated auditorium there is set to open in coming weeks.

    We have more students enrolled in our Early College, dual enrollment and AP courses. Along with the 15 professional certifications available through our Innovation Center, Lexington Two graduates are entering college and career with a head start on many of their peers.

    Lexington Two recently earned the distinction of being one of only two traditional public school districts in South Carolina -- and among only 373 across the US and Canada -- to be honored by the College Board with placement on the 9th Annual AP District Honor Roll. Seven of our 11 elementary and middle schools earned Excellent or Good ratings in the latest school report cards. And we earned top scores on our five-year accreditation through AdvancED, scoring 376 out of a possible 400 for our data-driven plans for continuous improvement and achievement in student learning.

    I am grateful to those who contribute every day to our students’ successes -- parents who entrust us with their children; Lexington County businesses, churches and community groups that invest in our schools; citizens and civic leaders who have made building new facilities possible; volunteers who share with us their time and talents; and educators who help students dream and achieve.

   We are looking forward to all that these final weeks ahead will bring -- culminating with our high school graduations: Airport on May 30, Brookland-Cayce on May 31.
