Lejeune High School is located aboard Camp Lejeune Marine Corps
Base, a military installation covering 246 square miles in southeastern
North Carolina. Approximately 42,000 active duty Marines and sailors
are stationed at the Camp Lejeune complex. About 4,500 of the service
members reside in federal housing units aboard the base. Including
dependents, the base population typically numbers about 17,000.
Lejeune High School is a comprehensive four-year school and is
funded by the Department of Defense. The school serves an average
enrollment of 510 students. All membes of the student body are military
dependents and must reside in base housing to be eligible to attend.
By the nature of the community served, the school population is
multi-ethnic and transient.
Lejeune High School is accredited by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools and is a permanent member of the College Board
and the College and the College Scholarship Service.
Please help us to add, update, and correct
our school history. The following information has been obtained
from yearbooks, JR. GLOBE, PUPS TALE, DAILY NEWS microfilm (headache
time), newspaper clippings, and the memories of our graduates
and former students.
So much of our history has never been recorded,
but taken away as personal and class memories. Some history has
been lost due to the transient nature of our school and community.
CLHS and LHS has a great history and it should be told and shown
to continue the pride and tradition in our accomplishments. This
history is very important to pass on to the students of today
as they learn of the "DEVILPUP" story.
Again, please help us to record and preserve
the "memories". Any pictures, newspaper clippings, stories
(kinda make them 51% accurate!), school newspapers, athletic records
or programs, would be greatly appreciated........
