Laurel High School in Laurel, Montana opened in 1908, with W.A. Longley serving as the first principal. The original high school was located on First Avenue between Ninth Street and Seventh Street. It was known as "The Old North School". The school, in its present location on Eighth Street, was constructed in 1962 and the Old North School was demolished in 1969.
