History

Londonderry, incorporated in 1722, has a proud tradition of support for education. In the modern era, prior to the construction of Central School (now Matthew Thornton) in 1949, youngsters in grades 1-8 were educated in one-room schoolhouses located throughout the community. The school district was part of SAU#10, which included Derry, and several other neighboring towns. High school students were educated primarily at Pinkerton Academy through a tuition agreement. North School opened in 1969. Later in 1972, Londonderry Junior High opened; housing grades 5-8 while grades 1-4 were educated at Matthew Thornton and North. That same year, Londonderry successfully petitioned to become its own school administrative unit. In 1978, as the result of a vote by the citizens to end their tuition agreements and embark on a building program, Londonderry High School opened. In the ensuing years, grade level configurations were adjusted, and the community constructed South School (1978), Londonderry Middle School (1982) and Moose Hill School (2001). Throughout this time numerous upgrades, additions and renovations have taken place in all school facilities. District administrative offices were housed in leased facilities from 1972-1985 at which time a building was constructed adjacent to the Town Municipal Complex on Mammoth Road. In July of 2018, the District administrative offices relocated to a leased facility on Kitty Hawk Landing.
