[edit] History
Lunenburg High School was founded in September 1895. The school was created in response to a May 26, 1894 law that required towns without high schools to pay the tuition of any students attending school in other towns. The first class graduated from Lunenburg High School in 1898 and consisted of one student. The present high school building was built in 1957 and houses grades 9 through 12. The high school is located on a campus that contains the elementary school, middle school and new town library and is within walking distance of the center of town. The school is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. in February 2012, Lunenburg High School was ranked 19 in Central Massachusetts according to our GoLocalWorcester list of best schools in the Commonwealth.[citation needed]
