The school Southwest Legacy High School has always been respectful. This school has always done a good job at evolving and making it a fun safe place for the students but also, staff, and parents. When I'm there I always feel comfortable speaking my mind and asking questions if needed. The teachers seem to support us constantly to ready and constantly prepare all of us for the pathways that we so desire for college.
