LHSD was created in 1965, merging rivals North Union and South Union School Districts. The change did not become official until the 1967-1968 school term. Students attended high school in the former high schools until completion of the current high school
The mission of the Laurel Highlands School District, in partnership with students, families, and the community, is to provide a rigorous, meaningful, and relevant education which prepares students to become productive members of an ever-changing global society.
