History Londonderry, incorporated in 1722, has a proud tradition of support for education. In the modern era, prior to the construction of Central School (now Matthew Thornton) in 1949, youngsters in grades 1-8 were educated in one-room schoolhouses located throughout the community. The school district was part of SAU#10, which included Derry, and several other neighboring towns. High school students were educated primarily at Pinkerton Academy through a tuition agreement. North School opened in 1969. Later in 1972, Londonderry Junior High opened; housing grades 5-8 while grades 1-4 were educated at Matthew Thornton and North. That same year, Londonderry successfully petitioned to become its own school administrative unit. In 1978, as the result of a vote by the citizens to end their tuition agreements and embark on a building program, Londonderry High School opened. In the ensuing years, grade level configurations were adjusted in all school facilities. District administrative offices were housed in leased facilities from 1972-1985 at which time a building was constructed adjacent to the Town Municipal Complex on Mammoth Road. In July of 2018, the District administrative offices relocated to a leased facility on Kitty Hawk Landing. #J-18808-Ljbffr TrulyHired
