About Legacy The School of Sport Sciences

First of its Kind... The first school in the state of Texas that focuses on the professions within athletics. Legacy is a thematic learning environment, tied together with project-based learning, which has created a curriculum focused on specific areas: athletic administration, coaching, sports media and marketing, and sports medicine. Students see and learn about the connection between education, athletics, science, and business. This learning style enhances the student’s ability to explore and solve real-world problems. Our Vision... The mission of Legacy is to provide a rigorous, well-balanced college preparatory program that focuses on educational experiences through the use of a thematic, work-based curriculum for academics, athletics, and professions within athletics. The founding board members, administration, and staff fulfill the school’s mission by upholding to the vision, which is to educate and inspire gifted and talented students through their interest in careers in athletics, such as athletic administration, coaching, sports media and marketing, and sports medicine. Our intention is to use the professions within the athletic industry to inspire each student to perform at a level leading to successful matriculation at a four-year institution, or post-secondary training, culminating in a rewarding career in sports business or sports STEM. The purpose is to create a model of education that is relevant to all Legacy students. Legacy has College Credit Program options that are designed to provide students with an opportunity to earn either an associate degree or up to 60 college credit hours paired with a high school diploma. Students are trained and coached by former collegiate and professional athletes in addition to learning about the professions in sports, all while building an extensive network of athletic industry experts.
