Superintendent of Schools – New Hampshire School Administrative Unit 30

Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Lakes Region, Laconia blends the warmth of a small town with the energy and opportunity of a vibrant city. Here, people look out for one another. Families, schools, and local businesses form strong partnerships that make Laconia a truly connected and caring place to live, learn, and grow.

Steeped in history and established in 1893, Laconia began as a key trade route between Portsmouth and Canada and became an early manufacturing center. Today, it stands not only as a tourism destination but as a thriving hub of innovation, creativity, and community spirit, a place that honors its roots while looking confidently toward the future.

Laconia offers the best of New England living. Surrounded by sparkling lakes and rolling mountains, residents enjoy an abundance of year-round recreational opportunities: boating, fishing, hiking, and swimming in the nearby lakes, as well as skiing and snowshoeing in the surrounding mountains. Laconia enjoys five local beaches (one right next to the middle school), numerous parks and playgrounds, and a wide variety of family-centered activities.

The community center and library are alive with events and programs for all ages. The historic Lakeport Opera House, Colonial Theatre, and local arts organizations showcase an active arts and culture scene. City traditions, celebrations, and festivals such as Laconia Pumpkin Festival, Multicultural Day, Downtown Block Parties, and Lakes Region Earth Day, including the world-famous Laconia Motorcycle Week, the oldest bike rally in the U.S., bring people together and build lasting pride.

The Laconia School District serves as the heart of the community’s commitment to its future. With three elementary schools, preschool opportunities, a middle school, a high school, and the Huot Career and Technical Center, the district provides an exceptional and comprehensive education for all learners, from early childhood through adulthood.
