Lebanon High School is the sole high school in the Lebanon School District (SAU 88) in New Hampshire. Ranging from grades 9-12, students are from the city of Lebanon and the towns of Grantham and Plainfield.[1]
The mascot for the LHS Raiders is commonly called the "Raider Bird".

In the early 1950s, SAU 88 decided to build a new high school for all students in Lebanon. Prior to this decision, students in Lebanon attended high school at the what is now the junior high school, while West Lebanon high schoolers went to Seminary Hill School in that village. In 195- the high school was completed, and in 195- the first class was graduated.
Over the next 20 years 9th graders in the district would attend the junior high school instead of the high school. In 197- this changed as the first true freshman class entered the school.
LHS's first mascot was the Agamek Indian. However, complaints in 2001 replaced this mascot with a Viking. After three years, the new mascot was again changed to today's raider bird fondly referred to as a "fawk" (from "falcon hawk"). The LHS Alumni Association still uses the Agamek as its mascot.
Lebanon offers a variety of classes including Honors and AP courses for any grade.
A class unique to Lebanon is 'Teen Roles'. This class is designed as a health class, but includes topics such as team building, CPR lessons, and how to respond and react to different high school issues. As part of the class, the students use an outdoor ropes course in which they learn about trust, support, and dependence on one another. It is also an opportunity to experience new things. Activities include being attached to a bungee cord that supports your weight and jumping from a ledge in a tree 10 feet out to a hanging bar. Besides Hanover High School, Lebanon is the only school in New Hampshire with a full outdoor ropes course.
Lebanon's long-time rival is Hanover High School, in the neighboring town.
Lebanon is well-known for their flourishing indoor and outdoor track teams, coached by teacher Andrew Gamble. During the 2010-2011 indoor track season, Lebanon girls won the Class I, M, & S track state championships, and the boys came in fifth.
During the 2010 season, the girls varsity soccer team won the state championships, and the boys were the runner ups.
Lebanon girls basketball, coached by teacher Tim Kehoe, is known for their almost perfect 2009-2010 season, with a record of 24-1, only losing the final championship game. The girls basketball team has a longstanding history of excellence, making it to at least the quarterfinals in playoffs for the last 32 years. Their last state championship was in 2007. Both the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 season ended with losses in the state championship game.
