Facilities

Currently, all students within the CUSD attend Lena-Winslow Elementary and Jr. High prior to attending the high school.

School Song
Wave the Flag (For Le-Win High School) is the fight song for Lena-Winslow's athletic teams, adapted from the University of Chicago Maroons. The tune was adapted by the University of Chicago from Miami University's "Marching Song" written in 1908 by Raymond H. Burke, a University of Chicago graduate who joined Miami's faculty in 1906.
Lyrics
- Wave the flag of Le-Win High School,
- Black and gold so grand.
- Ever shall our team be victors
- Known throughout the land.
- You, Rah, Rah
- We will always be there fighting,
- Without a fear we'll stand.
- Wave the flag of le-win colors,
- Black and gold for Le-Win High.
