Lenox High School, high school in Massachusetts, United States
Lenox Memorial High School is a school building in Lenox, Massachusetts, serving students in grades six through twelve. It includes a library, theater, art and music spaces, and classrooms offering a range of courses in English, mathematics, sciences, and languages.
The school was built in 1908, following the founding of the original Lenox Academy in 1803. In 1966, a new campus was constructed at the edge of town, bringing middle school and high school together in one location.
The school's name and its athletic teams, called the Millionaires, reflect the town's identity as a summer retreat for wealthy families in the late 1800s. This heritage remains visible in how the community uses the school as a gathering place for cultural events like the Fall Festival of Shakespeare and spring musicals.
The school is located on East Street in Lenox and offers parking and visitor access in a quiet, safe residential area. Visitors should note that traffic increases during school weeks, and many cultural events take place on weekends.
The 1908 school building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its importance to the town. The school has faced discussions about merging with nearby districts over the years but chose to remain independent, preserving its role as a distinct community institution.
