Lexington High School split in 2000 and White Knoll High School was built south of the Town of Lexington between the areas known as Red Bank and Edmund. A rivalry has formed with teams competing annually in at least 14 sports. Lexington's principal athletic rivalry, however, is nearby Irmo High School.
In the Fall of 2013, Lexington High School split again. The new school, River Bluff High School, is located in northeast Lexington serving the Town of Lexington, Oak Grove, and parts of Lake Murray.
During the fall of the 2011-2012 school year, Lexington High School began issuing Apple iPads to students as a way to give students access to the most current information available through the Internet. The iPads were purchased as part of the voter-approved 2008 bond referendum. This referendum included $15 million to expand and upgrade existing technology in all schools within the district.
