The school takes its name from an 1895 gift by James Madison Leavitt, a Turner native who became a wealthy New York City manufacturer of umbrellas and parasols.〔(Trustees of Leavitt Institute, Turner, Maine )〕 Leavitt donated $10,000 to the town of Turner to build a preparatory school.〔(A Guide 'Down East,' Federal Writers' Project, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, Printed by The Riverside Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1937 )〕 The school opened on Jan. 20, 1897, and was dedicated to Leavitt. In 1899 the first class of eight students graduated.〔(Leavitt Institute Building, Turner, Maine, turnermaine.com )〕 The school later outgrew the initial building, which now houses the Turner Homeless Shelter and the Turner Public Library. The last class graduated from the Leavitt Institute facility in 1966. In 1967 the school's name was changed to Leavitt High School, and in 1969 when the school district was consolidated, the school's name was changed to Leavitt Area High School, now located nearby the old Leavitt Institute Building.
