History [edit]

As the student population of Jack C. Hays High School swelled to over 2400, the need for second high school in Hays CISD became apparent to many community members. In August 2004, Lehman High School campus opened its doors with 960 students in grades 8 through 10. The school has had 3 principals since being open; Elsa Hinojosa (2004–2010), Don Ruisinger (2011–2012), and Michelle Chae (2012–present).

Athletic Program [edit]

Steve Davis, former head coach at Stephen F. Austin High School, was recruited to build the Lobo Athletic Program. He became the school's first athletic director. Steve Davis was replaced in February 2012 by Todd Raymond, Former Head Coach at McCallum High School in Austin,Texas. Raymond takes over a program that has a 20-40 overall record in six varsity football seasons.

The assistant band directors of the program include Christopher Barrera who joined the program in 2008, percussion director Mark Mertins who also joined in 2008, and Johnnie B.
