Ladysmith High School is in Ladysmith, Wisconsin in northwest Wisconsin. As of 2025, about 87 percent of students are white and half are documented as economically disadvantaged. [1] [2]
Lumberjacks are the school mascot and the school colors are purple and gold. [3] They have been members of the Heart O'North Conference since its founding in 1928. [4] In 2003, the school won its first WIAA state championship in basketball. [5] [6] [7] The Green Bay Packers, Certor Sports, and Ticketmaster donated football helmets to the school. [8] [9] A wrestler at the school won the WIAA division 3 190 pound state championship in 2024. [10]
A ca. 1905 postcard of the school exists. [11] From 1967 to 1970 a new school building was constructed. [12]
In 1990, the school auditorium was used as a hearing to grant the Flambeau Mining Company to mine copper and cold from a nearby open pit. Some attendees disrupted the meeting, including one who used a dead fish. [13] The incident resulted in one arrest. [14]
The first class of its hall of fame was set to be indicted in 2025. [15]
