Legacy High School

Digging into careers with real tools and opportunities! Students from across the Mid-Columbia area, including those from Southridge and Legacy High Schools, got a hands-on experience at Construction Career Day. This is an annual interactive event that introduces them to the many pathways within the construction industry. From operating heavy equipment to observing safety demonstrations, students gained a firsthand look at what it takes to be in the field. 👷🏼🔨

Thank you to Tri-Tech Skills Center, NAWIC Chapter 192, Tri-Cities, Tri-City Construction Council and all the other volunteers who made this incredible event possible!

The moment is here! 🎓 Legacy's High School Class of 2025 steps up at 3:30 PM today at the Three Rivers Convention Center. Live stream it: www.ksd.org/live

Superintendent Shout-out to Legacy High School!

"Here’s some love for Legacy High School, where Michelle Johnson’s seniors are learning all about how and whom to ask for letters of reference, what key information to provide and how to keep an organized file for their future. As students get ready to graduate, it was awesome to see them learning skills that will serve them well into the future. I enjoyed visiting with Principal Guy Strot last week and after spending some time in Michelle’s class, we also visited Sandy Nuxoll’s science class, where students were learning about toxicology and conducting research into various poisons and their effects. It was fun to talk with students and hear everything they are learning at Legacy. Kudos to the entire team there!"
