Legacy School of Sports Science: A Game-Changing Approach to Academics and Athletics
Legacy School of Sports Science in Spring, Texas, is not your typical high school. Founded in 2018, Legacy is built on the foundation of integrating sports and academics, preparing students not just for college athletics but for long-term success in the sports industry. With 90% of students participating in a sports program, Legacy is dedicated to helping students navigate the complex landscape of eligibility, recruiting, and compliance.
The school’s mission “Be where you’re supposed to be, do what you’re supposed to do in the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence”—drives everything they do.
A Unique Approach to Student Success
Legacy provides a structured and supportive environment where students are held accountable, guided through challenges, and empowered with solutions. Understanding that 51% of colleges stop recruiting athletes with GPAs below 3.0, Legacy ensures that academic success remains a top priority.
“We’re unique. We’re not part of any other brand of charter schools. We were derived from a niche need to service a certain type of student.” – Donyale Canada, COO/Compliance
The school celebrates milestones like Signing Day, where student-athletes commit to colleges across the country. Notable alumni include Joshua Moses, who committed to Texas A&M, and Aaron Scott, now playing at St. John’s, highlighting the school’s track record of success.
