ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Legacy High School promotes a safe and supportive environment where students feel inclusive of the school community. With the fundamental belief that optimal performance occurs when people feel valued and safe, taking the time to develop authentic and meaningful relationships with each student is essential. As a school community, we strive to make personal connections between staff and students, creating a culture of learning and high expectations through the lens of future-focused instruction.
We offer flexible scheduling, accelerated learning options and credit retrieval opportunities. Legacy operates on an A/B block schedule within a semester system. The A/B block schedule divides an eight-period day over two school days. Students will take up to four classes per day that will meet for approximately 80 minutes. The extra periods in this schedule provide opportunities for students to receive academic support, take additional elective classes, complete credit retrieval courses or work on assignments under the supervision of a professional educator. With a full schedule, students can earn 8.0 credits or more each year.
Legacy High School is an AVID school, providing in-school academic support and strategies to prepare students for college eligibility and success. Legacy also offers select Career & Technical Education (CTE) classes in the following program areas: Business & Marketing and Skilled & Technical Sciences, in addition to a variety of learning options to help students fulfill graduation requirements.
Alternative Learning Experience (ALE) Option:
The ALE option provides courses or grade level coursework where some or all of the instruction for the course takes place independent from the regular classroom or school setting.
Students interested in this option should be self-motivated and self-directed. ALE course students are required to participate in 27 hours and 45 minutes of weekly learning activities both in- and out-of-school. ALE students are expected to have direct communication with their teachers on a weekly basis. Student progress is evaluated monthly per WAC 392-121-182. Students who are interested in the ALE option should submit a transfer request.
