Lejeune High School (pronounced 'Le'Jurn), founded in 1944, is a high school located on the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune near Jacksonville, North Carolina. The school is operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity of the United States Department of Defense. It is one of six schools in the Camp Lejeune Dependent Schools (CLDS), which include four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school.[1]
Lejeune High School is the only high school located at Camp Lejeune. Its enrollment averages approximately 450 students, varying from Red Day to Gold Day.[2] The students are dependents of military personnel and must live on base (either at Camp Lejeune or at Marine Corps Air Station New River) in order to be eligible to attend LHS.[3] Its athletic teams are known as the Devilpups, as the majority of the students have family in the Marines, or the Navy, since the Marines do not have their own healthcare and religious services. (Marines are known as devil dogs).[citation needed] The school excels in basketball and Cross Country (2008-2009 Men's Regional Champions) and fields average scholastic wrestling and soccer teams. The 2008-2009 soccer team is set to dominate the Coastal Plains conference with the guidance of the knowledgeable Coach Rivera. Most other athletic accomplishments can be attributed to Coach Childs, lovingly known as "Sausage Fingers," or simply "Tom". [4]
The school is led by a civilian principal. The current principal, since 2007, is Wyyonia Cheviis. The school has come under recent criticism due to its lack of funding and poor management.[citation needed]
