Laurel Highlands High School is a public high school serving around 1,100 students in grades 9–12 from the outlying Uniontown city limits. Due to the campus' location, some students from Uniontown do attend LH for convenience. The principal and assistant principals of the school run it with great challenges.
Laurel Highlands High School was created in 1967 by merging rival high schools, North Union and South Union. Students attended high school in their respective buildings until completion of the current campus in 1972. Minor upgrades were performed to the school in 1994. The most recent structural update was completed in 2015 with a $43 million renovation.
According to the schools Curriculum Guide students need 25.5 credits in order to graduate, as well as complete a graduation project and career portfolio.
Students in Grades 10–12 have the opportunity to attend the Fayette County Career and Technical Institute in Georges Township for one-half day, each day while attending their home school the other half of the day.
