East Lyme High School students have been at the center of multiple controversies involving racism. During homecoming week in 2015, multiple students took part in a mock lynching on school grounds. [4] As a response, representatives from the Anti-Defamation League were invited to lead a school-wide discussion on diversity. In 2021, a student was charged with a hate crime for writing a racial slur on another student's car. [5]

Salem Schools Co-op Agreement

Since East Lyme High School's founding in 1967, students from the neighboring town of Salem have attended East Lyme High School from grades 9 through 12, due to Salem lacking a high school of their own. In 1997, East Lyme High School was formally recognized as the official high school of Salem Public Schools after an official agreement was established between the two towns. [6] In 2016, a new co-op agreement between East Lyme and Salem was adopted such that Salem students can continue to attend East Lyme High School through June 2039. [7]
