Greetings,

 

The Florida Department of Education released school grades and Legacy is once again an “A” school.  The “A” grade is a result of hardworking students, dedicated teachers and staff and supportive parents and community.  Below is a summary of this year’s student achievement data.  

It is my privilege to work with the Legacy community.
