East Lyme High School is a 9-12 high school in the Flanders Village region of East Lyme, Connecticut, United States. The school serves students from the towns of East Lyme and Salem, Connecticut. It is operated by East Lyme Public Schools. East Lyme High School has been open since 1967.
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]
