Leominster High School

Leominster High School (also known as Leominster High or LHS) is a public high school located in Leominster, Massachusetts, United States. It is the only secondary educational institution found in Leominster. It is situated in a mixed-industrial-residential section of Western Leominster in a 1960s era building. History The original site for Leominster High School was located at the Carter Building. Located on West Street in Leominster, this building served as the public high school from 1909 to 1963. It later served as a junior high school, and is currently vacant. The current location of Leominster High School, located at 122 Granite Street, was opened in the fall of 1963. It has since undergone major renovations, both in 1977 and 1990. In 2018 Leominster High School, as well as all of Leominster Public Schools were subject to a major computer privacy breach, leading to student data being held hostage. In order to return the data, a $10,000 ransom was paid by the City of Leominster. General information Leominster High School comprises two units. It has an academic unit and a trade school, which is known as the Center for Technological Educational innovation (abbreviated CTEi). The majority of students are enrolled in the academic unit, although CTEi participation has been growing in recent years. Collectively, these two units are referred to as Leominster High School. In 2002, LHS had an enrollment of 1802 students, including freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. LHS now has an enrollment of approximately 2,000 students. Leominster currently offers 12 Advanced Placement courses, 21 Honors level courses, and 12 Vocational shops, far less than neighboring Fitchburg High School or Monty Tech, but more than many high schools in the area this has led to a decline in students in recent years as Fitchburg High's honors program attracts many top-tier students by school choice. Leominster High is accredited by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
