Lexington's history traces back to the Ohlone people who lived in the Bay Area, with evidence near the Lexington Reservoir. In the 1800s Lexington grew around sawmills and was named Lexington after Lexington, Missouri. The third Lexington school opened on September 14, 1953, after the area was relocated to make way for the Lexington Reservoir. In 2007 Lexington became the first public IB Primary Years Program school in Northern California and is the only LGUSD school offering the IB PYP and the IB Early Years TK program; the school was rebuilt beginning January 2012 and reopened August 18, 2014.
The Lexington Home and School Club is comprised of the parents of Lexington School students and staff. Working closely with Lexington teachers and staff, these members raise funds and sponsor events which enrich our school and its programs, most importantly our International Baccalaureate program. HSC members also work in our garden to help keep it beautiful and in classrooms to support teachers. Meetings are open to everyone and typically held the second Wednesday morning of the month.
