Our mission is to educate all students to become productive and competitive citizens in an ever changing global society.  Each student will be provided opportunities for academic and social growth which will allow them to reach their fullest potential.

School Overview

Langston Hughes High School (LHHS), completed in May 2009, is the newest and largest constructed high school in South Fulton County. Located in Fairburn, Georgia, a suburb of metropolitan Atlanta, the school sits adjacent to Renaissance Elementary and Renaissance Middle Schools. 

LHHS opened its doors in August 2009 to educate students in the southern portion of the Fulton County School System. Built to meet the needs of a rapidly growing community, this state-of-the art facility is home to grades 9-12 students with an enrollment of nearly 2200. Under the leadership of Dr. Michael H. Robinson, a distinguished faculty and staff has been assembled to serve the school community. 

Special Programs
 
While LHHS operates on a traditional six-period school day as a comprehensive high school, its non-traditional approach to educate students consists of pathways which are connecte to a Small Learning Community.
