Since 1969, much has changed in Lexington and the world. We’ve witnessed the first moon landing, the Battle of Lexington’s 200th Anniversary, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet through it all, The Musket has remained a constant, a staple of our town and our high school.
“At the end, we all become stories.” – Margaret Atwood
Atwood’s words offer a lens to understand the role of The Musket in Lexington. Writing is an integral part of how our team seeks to convey the beauty and complexity of the human experience. Whether reporting on a club event, chronicling a sports victory, or sharing a profile, we approach each story with care, knowing our work will preserve the memories our community treasures and voices that deserve to be heard. In the end, The Musket will stand as a mosaic of the stories we’ve told together.
Storytelling has long been at the heart of Lexington’s identity. Each year, we gather at the Battle Green to reenact the Battle of Lexington and Concord, reliving the first shots and retelling the stories of our forefathers. April 19, 1775 marked the opening chapter of Lexington’s and America’s history. Today, The Musket continues that tradition: writing the next chapter of our town.
This year, we aim to elevate our coverage by publishing extra online issues and sending them directly to subscribers via a newsletter. As The Musket has been doing for nearly six decades, we will continue to tackle tomorrow’s headlines such as the new school building. Looking ahead, we remain committed to telling LHS stories that serve as windows into the perspectives shaping our school today.
As a newspaper, we look towards the community for our most trusted supporters and readers. Please considered subscribing ($25) or signing up for the newsletter (free of charge). Feel free to reach out to musketnews@gmail.com for any inquires or story ideas.
