Leyden High School will be turning 100 next school year (2024-25)! We will host many fun ways to celebrate which will include a homecoming event planned on October 4, 2024, a 100th Anniversary Gala at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center on February 8, 2025 and a Picnic/Festival planned for the Spring of 2025. In preparation for this historic year, we have launched a custom store for Leyden gear with our anniversary logos. Please feel free to share with alumni, family, and friends. Part of each purchase comes back to the Leyden Education Foundation to support scholarships for our students.

When it comes to a performance you want everything to be absolutely perfect. When everything doesn't go as planned you still have to keep doing and do the best with what you've got. The Play That Goes Wrong is a hilarious show about a show that, despite everyone's best intentions, goes completely off the rails. We're not even sure we're going to be able to pull this off!

Come on out and audition for this very funny and entertaining play, no experience necessary.

Auditions Tuesday, October 3 (East) and Wednesday, October 4 (West) starting at 3:30 p.m. *Students only have to attend one of the auditions.

Congratulations to Leyden Girls Tennis on their back-to back years in taking home 1st place at Fenton Fresh/Soph Quad Tournament. Go Eagles!
