Faculty and administration

As of the 2024-25 school year, the administration is headed by principal Dr. Mark Hill, and associate principals Erin Estrada, Tina Preciado, and Karen Kim. [4]

For many years, Leuzinger High School was considered to be a typical inner-city school, mostly known for producing athletes such as Kei Kamara, Marvcus Patton and Russell Westbrook. However, over the past few years,[ when? ] it has consistently shown academic growth spurts, largely due to its faculty and administration.

Olympic mascot

As Leuzinger's first senior class graduated while the 1932 Summer Olympics were hosted in and around nearby Los Angeles, the school's nickname became the "Olympians". Leuzinger was granted authorization for the school to use the Olympic name and Olympic rings trademark.
