It educates approximately 336 students in grades nine through twelve. It is a part of the Leland School District. Leland Elementary and Leland School Park feed students into Leland High School. The school in 1982 graduated its first racially integrated school population from K–12, having implemented desegregation in 1970.[2] Leland had a biracial group of parents and school administrators who had encouraged White families to remain in the public school system. By 1992 Leland High School was again majority black. By 1992, many children of White people who had graduated from the integrated Leland school system attended private schools in the Delta. By that time, the black community did not object to the de facto segregation that occurred.[3] Graduates of Leland High School include former National Football League player Johnie Cooks.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}} Footnotes1. ^{{cite web|url=https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/school_detail.asp?Search=1&Miles=10&Zip=38760&SchoolPageNum=2&ID=280261001059|title=LELAND HIGH SCHOOL|publisher=National Center for Education Statistics|accessdate=March 13, 2019}} 2. ^{{cite news | title=The death of a dream - A pioneering Southern town has turned its back on school integration - Slowly and silently, Leland, Miss has abandoned its ideals | work=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution | page=G1 | date=1992-05-31 |quote= In a state long defined by its racial bigotry, the high school graduates of Leland (Miss.)
