Leasowes Community College (previously Leasowes High School) is a secondary school in Halesowen, West Midlands, England. It was opened in 1972 to replace the nearby Hill & Cakemore Secondary School, and during the 1990s awarded Community College status.
It regularly performs well in the Dudley Borough's GCSE league tables; and there is a high application rate amongst primary school leavers, meaning that some local children have to attend schools further afield, such as Earls High School and Windsor High School (Halesowen).

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or college:
“Agitators are a set of interfering, meddling people, who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them, in our incomplete state, there would be no advance towards civilisation.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“A whale-ship was my Yale College and my Harvard.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
