I really have loved my time at legacy high school. It has truly impacted my life in a way that I'll never be able to be the same person, but definitely in a positive way. The school made me to be the person I am today by dedicating me to my studies and also allowing me to experience the full high school experience by participating in multiple sports and organizations, as well as honor society. As I am highly involved student at this school, I always drive to represent legacy well and I really do love this school. It will forever hold a special place in my heart.

As a senior in Tyler Legacy High School, I have seen a lot of events unfold over my four years, but overall, the high school is great, and you can join a lot of clubs and meet a lot of friends.

Tyler Legacy was a great school to have gotten to go to. I learned a lot and felt prepared everything in all my advanced classes. The only thing I didn't enjoy was how large our school was, having over 2,000 students. And having to be shuttled by bus to and from the Career and Technology Center. Some changes like cleaner bathrooms and better traffic system for the parking lots.

All three of my kids have attended here, and the two that have graduated were well prepared for college. My current student is challenged and loves it. There is strong communication between parents and staff, teachers, and administration. The leadership is excellent here.

I would highly recommend Tyler Legacy. The Principal is great and engages with the students and is well respected by the staff. We were lucky enough that my children had him as their Principal in middle school and now they get to have him for high school. My children are offered a wide variety of cl...

I had a child graduate from here in 2021, a current junior and a current freshman. We have been very impressed with the number of academic and extracurricular opportunities at Tyler Legacy.
