Lehman High School opened its doors in August 2004 and was named after the family of Ted Lehman, Hays CISD School Board President from 1967-1979, who donated the parcel of land where the school is located. Ted Lehman dedicated his life to education and farming. He worked on three area school boards within Hays County. Part of his rich farmland is now the site of Lehman High School.
