In the Albany County School District, high school begins in the 9th grade (freshman year); 9th grade (freshman) students are now able to attend high school in Laramie due to the building of a new high school.

Noted LHS alumni include actor Wayde Preston, Gerry Spence (trial lawyer, author, and television legal consultant), Marilyn S. Kite (Justice of the Wyoming Supreme Court),[1] and John S.

He is a nominee to serve as a U.S. District Judge based in Cheyenne.

Laramie High School currently has an online Newspaper called CyberPlainsman.[6]
