Lejeune High School (IPA lə-'dʒun) 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 seven in the Camp Lejeune Dependant Schools (CLDS), which include one high school, one middle school, and five elementary schools. [1]
Lejeune High School is the only high school located at Camp Lejeune. Its enrollment averages approximately 510 students, varying from Red Day to Gold Day.[2] The students are dependents of military personnel and must either live on base (either at Camp Lejeune or at Marine Corps Air Station New River) or be on the on a list to get into base housing in order to be eligible to attend LHS.[3]
History
The Early Years
Camp Lejeune was founded in 1941. Camp Lejeune High School (CLHS) was founded in 1944, with the first class to graduate being the Class of 1945. In the early days of Camp Lejeune High School, the school was led by a principal and a Marine Officer.[4] With having Marine Officer as part of the faculty, certain military expectations were expected and adhered to such as grooming standards and locker inspections.
Both Camp Lejeune and Camp Lejeune High School take their namesakes from John A. Lejeune, the 13th Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. The students decided in 1944 to take the moniker "Devilpups". This reference is due to the Marine Corps having the nickname of Devil Dogs and Camp Lejeune being a Marine Corps base.
The first campus that housed Camp Lejeune High School was located on Brewster Boulevard. In 1961, a new campus was built, the school moved to 1290 Stone Street, which housed Brewster Middle School for a time before a new campus was built for that school. A new campus was built for the high school in 1990. Camp Lejeune High School changed its name to Lejeune High School in 1968.
Campus
Currently the campus for Lejeune High is located with its main entrance on Stone Street and another entrance on Brewster Boulevard. The school has land cleared, but continues to use the track and fields located at the current Brewster Middle School.

Notes
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.) 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. Most other athletic accomplishments can be attributed to Coach Childs. [5]

The football team works very hard but is never able to win hardly. But due to the loss of their sta players Zachary Smith also known as Grizzly Bear and Micheal Tagliabue aka. Tags the teams suffers more so than the previous 2 yeas. the soccer team is average thanks to Gunner Hastings and a new student "TROB". The girls soccer team is horrible thanks to Taylor Snipes. The Softball team and baseball teams are never any good and doomed to failure till new coaches are hired. The Wrestling team and Basketball teams continue to dominate and be the most succesful teams in the schools list of sports. oh and lets not forget cheerleading, well its not really a sport and they arent very good any ways so we wont really count them.
