Welcome to Leigh!

Welcome to Leigh High School, Home of the Longhorns! Leigh is home to a comprehensive, rigorous academic program as well as a wide variety of extracurriculars. We strive to live by our values: community, integrity, and growth.

Leigh High School was named a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, one of only 13 high schools in California to receive this prestigious honor! The recognition, announced by U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, celebrates schools for excellence in academic performance or significant progress in closing achievement gaps among student groups.

Leigh High School earned this distinction as an Exemplary High Performing School, placing it among the top performers in California. This award acknowledges the dedication and collaboration of Leigh High’s students, educators, and community in upholding high academic standards and fostering an inclusive learning environment.
