After the opening of the current campus, the old LCHS building was joined to the Third Judicial District Court of Las Cruces.

Beginning in the summer of 2013, the rest of the campus underwent renovation, with a proposed budget of $84 million USD.

Every renovation of LCHS was finalized at the August 2019 Fall Assembly with the entire student body present.

LCHS and MHS have combined to win 11 of the past 20 New Mexico state championships in football, with the annual year-end game between the schools almost invariably determining the district title.
