Seminary Hill School (or Seminary Hill Elementary School) was a public school located at 20 Seminary Hill in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, United States. It closed in 2012.[1]

The structure was built in 1854 under the direction of William Tilden as Tilden Female Seminary. It became West Lebanon High School from 1915 to 1961.[1]

Seminary Hill School was an elementary school from 1961 until 2012.[1] Within Lebanon School District, its role was to teach the older elementary grades for the western half of the town.[2] For many years, it served grades 4–6, and from 2009 to 2012, grades 5–6. In its final year there were 196 students.[3]

The school was closed as the district consolidated small schools and opened a new Lebanon Middle School in 2012.[2] Since then, the building has served as administrative offices of Lebanon School District (SAU#88).[4]
