Legacy Magnet Academy opened its doors in fall 2020, serving students in grades 6th through 9th. Each subsequent year, this first group of students will move up to their next grade, and a new group of 6th grade students will be brought in. That means that our first class of 9th grade students in 2020-21, will become our first graduating class of Seniors in 2023-24. At capacity in phase one of development, LMA will serve approximately 900 students in grades 6-12, with approximately 130 students per grade level.

Our Magnet focus at LMA is TIDE, Technology, Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship. These themes will be the basis for our instructional program, delivered through a thematic interdisciplinary approach. In the context of Project Based Learning (PBL) students will learn their core content through the lens of business and entrepreneurial thinking. Throughout the course of their experience at LMA, students will become expert in the design process, acquire the skills necessary to successfully participate in the entrepreneurial start up process, complete courses offered in partnership with local colleges allowing for college credits prior to exiting high school, and will build connections and relationships with local businesses and higher education partners.

The initial transfer window has closed as of Friday, 1/30/22 at 3:00pm. That being said, you are still able and welcome to continue to submit transfer requests for Legacy (or any TUSD school). Transfers received after the close of the window will be considered on a first come first serve basis, pending available space. At Legacy, we have extremely limited seats available in select grades.
