Limavady High School is a secondary school in the North-Western town of Limavady in Northern Ireland. It currently around 800 pupils enrolled. The school is part of the Limavady Learning Partnership.

HIstory

Opened in 1961, the school occupied the buildings in Irish Green Street formerly used by Limavady Grammar School, adapted for the school's use and augmented. These premises have either been completely refurbished or replaced and now provide modern teaching areas. In September 2001 the former Dungiven High School was absorbed into Limavady High School.
