From the school

Legacy High School students created and maintained a robust school webpage with current information relevant to the entire school community. Through that webpage, visitors (students, parents, or community members) can directly e-mail the school principal. Many visitors use this efficient form of communication. Legacy students and parents also have access to two parent communication systems, InTouch and ParentLink, both of which are linked to the school webpage. Through either of the parent communication systems, parents and/or students can access student information, grades, attendance, teacher e-mail accounts, transcripts, and important messages. Monthly Parent Advisory Council meetings are held at the school in both the mornings and evenings. Bi-monthly school newsletters are mailed home and linked to the schools webpage. Quarterly student newspapers are provided to students. Quarterly global newsletters are linked to the school website. Autodialer messages are sent on an as-needed basis in order to communicate important events and/or reminders. Open House is held in the fall and a freshmen orientation is held in August prior to the start of the school year.
