Lyme has partnered with Old Lyme, our neighboring town to the south, to orm Regional School District No. 18. The district operates five schools in the area, including three elementary schools (one of which is located in Lyme), Lyme/Old Lyme Middle School and Lyme/Old Lyme High School.  

 

The Lyme/Old Lyme public schools strive to create an environment that focuses on enabling children of all ages to reach their full potential as scholars, artists and athletes of character.

 

The Lyme-Old Lyme Schools is located in Connecticut, the United States. This state is one of the most densely populated states in the United States, with a mild and rainy climate and distinct seasons. There are three universities in Connecticut that are listed on the U.S. News American University Rankings Top 200. These three schools are Yale University, University of Connecticut, and Hartford University. Connecticut's per capita income ranks first in the United States, and the manufacturing industry is very developed. Students who choose to study in Connecticut have good employment opportunities after graduation. Coupled with the fact that Connecticut is not far from New York State, it is also very convenient for students to find a job in Manhattan after graduation.

He said: "I am honored and excited to have the opportunity to serve Lime and the old Lime community as the new superintendent. I know the schools in the school district have a long tradition of educating young people. I look forward to serving in the district Leadership role, and work with the education committee, teachers and staff to consolidate and continue this successful record."
