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.

Inside Leominster High School is the Aldrich V. Cousins Auditorium, named after a former educator who served the school for 32 years, 21 years as a teacher and 11 as principal. The auditorium was dedicated to Mr. Cousins in August 2000. [4] Mr. Cousins began his teaching career at Leominster High School in 1947. He became the school’s principal in 1968 and served in that position until his retirement in 1979. The auditorium is home to the Leominster High School Theatre Company, which produces four main stage productions per year.

Leominster High School is a participant in Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. Doyle Field, the school's sports complex located in downtown Leominster, underwent a major renovation from 2005 to 2006 though it still lacks adequate track and field facilities in order to host meets. [5]

In addition to football, the school offers cross country, field hockey, girls and boys soccer, volleyball, girls and boys basketball, ice hockey, indoor track, outdoor track, girls and boys lacrosse, girls and boys tennis, softball, and baseball. Leominster High also is the home to the Marching Blue Devils. The band plays at all of the high school's home football games. They also perform at the city's patriotic events, including the Memorial Day and Veteran's Day ceremonies.

Most of Leominster's athletic teams play their home games at the high school itself or at the Doyle Field complex. The ice hockey team plays its home games in neighboring Fitchburg at the Wallace Civic Center.

Recent renovations have occurred at Doyle Field. The track is not being resurfaced and will be torn up in the next few years, due to a heavy focus on football. This will leave the Leominster High School track team, which already cannot have home meets because of the poor condition of the track, without a practice track.
