Blue Ribbon School
Leigh High School is among 356 schools across the nation and 33 in California to be recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School. This recognition highlights schools that excel in academic performance or make significant strides in closing achievement gaps among different student groups.
“The 2024 National Blue Ribbon Schools are raising the bar for our nation’s students, serving as models for effective teaching and intentional collaboration in their schools and communities,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a release.
Leigh was named an Exemplary High-Performing School for students’ performance on state assessments and/or nationally normed tests.
“In addition to rigorous academics, Leigh boasts award-winning music, athletic, visual and performing arts programs, and has over 100 clubs to serve students’ interests,” reads the National Blue Ribbon Schools website.
Part of the Campbell Union High School District, Leigh was also recognized as a 2024 California Distinguished School.
The U.S. Department of Education accepts up to 420 nominations for the National Blue Ribbon Schools award each year from the top education official in all states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, the Department of Defense Education Activity and the Bureau of Indian Education. Private schools are nominated by the Council for American Private Education.
