LMGHS is located on the northern part of the campus of Kingsborough Community College of the City University of New York;[2] it overlooks Sheepshead Bay. LMGHS was opened in September 1993 by MayorDavid Dinkins and President of Kingsborough Community College Leon M. Goldstein. Goldstein supported the idea for starting a high school at Kingsborough Community College and the high school was later renamed in Goldstein's honor. The high school's first class graduated in June 1997.
The high school has a partnership with Kingsborough Community College, and is able to use many of its facilities including the gymnasium, auditorium, and some laboratories. Like many high schools in New York City, LMGHS offers College Now programs and a Bridge Program, enabling high school students to take some college courses and earn college credits from CUNY.[citation needed]
