To plan for college, Legacy offers a credit tracking worksheet. It includes a box for each 0.5 credit and is categorized into the seven required class categories to graduate.

Legacy’s Course Selection Guide provides a summary, credits, and possible careers of all offered courses.

Legacy also offers Advanced Placement, or AP classes, which are college-level classes that can provide college credit and graduation credits. Please click on Legacy’s AP website for more information about AP policies, homework, exam information, and after-school sessions.

Along with AP, students can enroll in Future Forward at Bollman or Washington Square. These classes provide hands-on classes ranging from firefighting to forensics and graphic design. Students can also find them in the guide.

To provide more information, we contacted the assistant principal, Ms. Hoover, who kindly gave information regarding new courses next year:

Legacy also added new classes in English and Math: Multicultural Literature, Mythology, and AP Precalculus. The admissions team also updated course names in Choir to be more inclusive, changing “Women’s Choir” to “Treble Choir” and “Men’s Choir” to “Tenor-Bass Choir”.
