About Minuteman
The District oversees one high school and one adult workforce development learning program:
- Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School, which is also known as Minuteman High School–a public school for grades 9-12.
- Minuteman Technical Institute (MTI), which provides career technical education for adults. MTI operates in the Minuteman High School building in the evenings.
Minuteman High School follows its Admissions Policy and Regional Agreement when enrolling students. Student applicants living in the member towns have first priority for admission. The District also has a long tradition of accepting students from non-member cities and towns. For more information, visit our Admissions page.
The school is governed by a District School Committee, which includes members from each of the District’s member towns. That Committee adopts an annual budget, sets policy for the District, and hires a Superintendent who oversees day-to-day operations.
Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School, which is commonly known as Minuteman High School, is an award-winning public high school in Lexington, Massachusetts, on a 65-acre campus that is located within the towns of Lexington and Lincoln.
Minuteman's name and identity honor the American colonists who fought the first battles of the Revolutionary War in the towns of Lexington and Concord. Minuteman is located close to the historical battle sites and is across the road from the Minute Man National Park.

Minuteman offers students 19 CTE majors that are organized by the Academy Model, which encourages integration of teaching and learning among different CTE and academic subjects. The high school offers 14 sports teams and 20 clubs and activities.
