Faculty and administration[edit]


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. As of 2018, the administration is headed by principal Dr. Pamela Brown, and associate principals Grace Yang, Jose Varela, and Dr. Karma Nicolis.[4]



Olympic mascot[edit]


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. In turn, the campus of the "Olympians" also provided staging for aspects of the 1932 Olympics; facilities for the use of competitors, including a shooting range, and a bowling alley, were constructed under the main building. On September 8, 1936, construction on a women's gym with an Olympic-size swimming pool was begun. However eventual earthquake damage, combined with tougher safety codes and remodeling opportunities, required the pool's removal.[when?][citation needed]
