School Overview

The Leominster Center for Excellence (LCE) is an alternative educational program within the Leominster Public Schools district designed to support students who require a non-traditional learning environment.

Beyond its academic offerings, the Center for Excellence emphasizes social-emotional learning and community building to foster student success. By creating a supportive atmosphere, the school aims to help students overcome barriers to education, build confidence, and develop the necessary skills for post-secondary success. The program is part of the district's broader commitment to ensuring that every student has access to an education tailored to their specific needs and goals.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
