High School for Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice

High School for Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice (LE/CJ in short) is a secondary school located in Houston, Texas, United States. The school serves grades 9 through 12 and is a part of the Houston Independent School District.

LE/CJ is an all-magnet high school that has Houston ISD's magnet program for law enforcement and criminal justice.

History
