About
Legacy Leadership High School is redefining excellence by preparing critical thinkers, innovators, and ethical leaders ready for college, career, and community impact. Through rigorous academics, hands-on career pathways, and leadership opportunities, students gain the skills needed to thrive in a competitive world. Our FutureReady NYC pathway ensures every student graduates with a clear plan, real-world experience, early college credits, and a strong foundation for careers in education and beyond. Students are empowered through our Crew Mentoring Program, where upperclassmen guide freshmen in academic and personal growth. The Education Pathway prepares future teachers and education professionals. Leadership development is central, with Student Government, the Principal's Roundtable, and Journalism for All giving students a voice in shaping school culture. Our programs offer real-world credentials, including a food handler's license, and entrepreneurship experience through the Ownership is the Future Program. Students explore sustainable farming in our hydroponic lab, which supplies produce to our Culinary Program. Creative leaders emerge through our Digital Photography Program, using visual storytelling and public exhibitions to make an impact.
