LaurenHill Academy (LHA) is an English-language public school in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It opened in the fall of 1992, after the closure of St. Laurent High School and Sir Winston Churchill High School, which was built in 1961. Formerly part of the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal, the school has been part of the English Montreal School Board since the 1998–99 school year. At the beginning of the 21st century, the neighbouring Father MacDonald High School was closed, and LaurenHill Academy took over the location and divided itself into Junior and Senior campuses.
Laurenhill Academy was the first school in the EMSB to use a progressive block scheduling system (4 daily periods of 75 minutes over a 9 day cycle). In recognition of this innovation, LaurenHill achieved Lead School status and was invited to join the MEQ Implementation Design Committee's Lead School Network.
Both its male and female sports teams compete as the Laurenhill Lynx. Enrollment was slightly below 1500 students in Secondary I,II, III, IV and V in the 2009-10 academic year.
Pelagia Nickoletopoulos is the current principal of LaurenHill Academy for both campuses. Ms. Franca Cristiano and Mr. Jimmy Giannacopoulos are vice principals at the senior campus, and Mr. Chris Brown and Mr. George Koustoulis and since Mr Koutstoulis is on a leave Tara Fogel will be taling over until october 2011 are their counterparts at the junior campus.
LaurenHill Academy has a multicultural population of students with a wide variety of abilities. Its basketball teams and the LaurenHill Jazz Band have won several awards in recent years.
