Best part of our school is the diversity of activities at the school. There are countless clubs, sports and organization you can be part of. The worst in my opinion is the food, the cafeteria isn't the best place to get lunch. The only thing I would change would be the lunches, everything else I would keep the same.

Tyler legacy was a great high school overall, while I was there the school was remodeled, and the campus is very beautiful. I was quite involved in extracurriculars like Orchestra and sports I did varsity swimming. i loved most of the teachers and created family like bonds with them, they guided me and cared for me. although administration wasn't always the best with students as well as teachers. The facility did have a lot of really good features and class opportunities that helped me be ready for what was to come as a college student. i made so many friends in my extracurriculars there, always a place where i felt happy. i actually really enjoyed going to school there. I will forever be thankful for all the teachers and coaches that helped me get to where i am today and will continue being an influence on my future. attending this school opened so many doors that i did not know were there.

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.
