Leuzinger High School

What Leuzinger High School does

Leuzinger High School is a public high school located at 4118 West Rosecrans Ave., Lawndale, California, serving students in grades 9-12 within the Centinela Valley Union High School District (CVUHSD). The school operates under the district's governance and is funded through state education funding, local property taxes, and federal programs, with education provided at no cost to students. Its primary customer segments are in-district high school students seeking college and career preparation, plus their parents and guardians. The current principal is Dr. Karma Nicolis, and the institution markets itself under the 'Olympians' mascot brand with the motto 'Every Student Ready for College, Career... and Life!'

The school's core academic offerings include Advanced Placement courses, AVID college-readiness programming, Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways, Dual Enrollment for college credit, and SAT/ACT test preparation. The school's technology stack is built on standard K-12 platforms: Canvas for learning management and PowerSchool for student information systems, with a 1:1 Chromebook program and Digital Literacy Integration (DLI) initiative for 9th graders. It also operates a Multimedia Careers Academy (MCA) producing student media across three channels: LTV (Leuzinger Television) video news, The Torch print newspaper, and an annual yearbook, all under the S.P.I.R.I.T. student engagement program.

The business model is non-commercial: as a public high school, Leuzinger does not generate revenue from tuition or fee-for-service arrangements. Operations are funded through the CVUHSD district budget, California state education allocations, and federal programs. Outreach and community engagement are conducted through a multi-channel approach including the school website (leuzinger.org, powered by Edlio), Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, the alumni network, and student-produced media. The school received the 2018 Silver PBIS Implementation Award for its Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports framework and is currently pursuing CEQA-compliant athletic facilities improvements. Student enrollment is governed by the district's enrollment process, with families living within CVUHSD boundaries as the de facto customer base.
