context_section_description: The first school master arrived in Lenox in 1770. Lenox Memorial High School has its origins in the founding of Lenox Academy in 1803.  Acquiring a reputation for excellence, the Academy drew students from throughout the region and beyond.  Already serving as the town's secondary school, the Academy officially became its public high school in 1866.  Lenox responded to its growing student population with the construction of the 1908 school building which served as the high school until 1966.  In that year a new campus was opened on the eastern edge of the town that co-located the high school and middle school.
