Laurel Highlands Middle School
The building opened as South Laurel Junior High School in 1968, housing grades seven through nine. Originally, students from the district's three elementary schools in South Union Township (Areford, Hatfield, and Hutchinson) attended South Laurel Junior High. When North Laurel, the other junior high, was closed in 1984, it was renamed Laurel Highlands Junior High School. Ninth grade was moved to the high school, and the new merged junior high housed all Laurel Highlands students in grades seven and eight. After an extensive renovation was completed in August 2003, the school was renamed Laurel Highlands Middle School, with students in grades six through eight attending.
