School history
In 1989, the construction of Limbaži Secondary School No. 3 was started, and already on August 15, 1991, the district executive committee decided to open Second School No. 3. On September 1, 1991, a group of students and teachers from Limbaži Secondary School No. 3 started working in the building of Limbaži Secondary School No. 1 on the 2nd shift, but on November 25, the school team moved to the new school building and joined the Junior Achievement Latvia practical entrepreneurship education program. Only on September 1, 1999, a sports complex was inaugurated, where, as you know, some various sports events are still taking place. Later, on September 1, 2011, Limbaži Secondary School No. 2 and Limbaži Youth and Adult Evening (Shift) Secondary School will be added to the school as a structural unit. In 2016 the school is accredited for 6 years until 2022.

School symbols
In November 2001, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the school, the flag design was created by Rasma Kokina, a long-term head of the Folk Applied Art Studio “Dzilna” of the Limbaži Culture House and master of folk art. In November of the same year, the school's flag was consecrated by Pastor Valters Korāls.

The main colors of the flag- green, white, red, but the illustrations are pink, red, and yellow. On one side of the flag, there is an inscription "Limbažu 3. Vidusskola" and apple blossoms, which symbolize an apple orchard, because the school was built in the place of an apple orchard.On the other side, there is another symbol of the school - a sun. On the white side of the flag, there is a quote from philosopher Konstantīna Raudives-‘’Brīvs ir tas, kas sevī gaismu nes’’, some other quotes from the same philosopher were used in the oath of school flag bearers: '' What I ask of you is not impossible: you have to think for yourself, you have to want and decide for yourself! Grow and form in yourself, exist and endure. We promise to honor the name of Limbaži Secondary School and prove it with our works! ”

The sun was a popular symbol during the Latvian National Awakening, which also became a symbol of the school in 1991, when the first school badge was created. The sun symbolizes light, wisdom, growth.
