Spring is in full swing, and with it comes the excitement of wrapping up another incredible school year at the Legacy Campus! Our students continue to achieve remarkable milestones—completing solo flights, earning industry certifications, and finishing college coursework that sets them up for future success.

As we look ahead, we’re excited to celebrate our seniors at the upcoming Senior Pinning Ceremony in May (invitations forthcoming). Additionally, we are actively completing registration for next year’s students, as our campus continues to grow across all pathways.

In April, we will host Orientation Nights for incoming students (see details below) and parent meetings for many of our Year 2 students who will be participating in work-based learning during their senior year. These experiences are a crucial step in preparing our students for the workforce and beyond.

Finally, a huge congratulations to our Apple Awards nominees, Chef Shaemus O’Brien and Mrs. Janell Ames—your dedication and impact on our students are truly inspiring!

Thank you to our students, staff, and families for your continued support. Let’s finish this school year strong!

At this point, students in DCSD Charter Schools

and outside students are welcome to submit an application.

Pathway applications are available on the pathway's webpage.

As you may know, the DCSD Legacy Campus does not have their own PTO but our staff is still amazing and deserves some love!

All donations need to be dropped off at the DCSD Legacy Campus front desk by Friday, May 2nd. Feel free to send items with your student. Use this LINK to sign up to donate!
