-Coach Jason Petty on Boys 4th District Title in a Row: “We only won one relay and one individual event, so the boy's first place team finished was based on our depth with almost every team member scoring points. Almost every single swimmer went their best time and moved up in the standing to benefit the team. We had a lot of young guys that really contributed to the success of the team. It’s fun to send our Seniors off having never lost a district championship”

We are always striving for improvement at Tyler Legacy. What better way to do that than learning from our own teacher leaders? Yesterday our Master Teacher, Ms. Clary, Algebra teacher, Ms. Barnard, and Spanish teacher, Mr. Hartsock led an engaging, hands-on professional development focusing on student engagement that was full of different strategies, activities, and ideas teachers could take back and use in their classrooms. Dr. John Hattie's research shows that this has a highly positive effect size on student learning. This professional development opportunity is helping us to meet our campus goals to grow and support teacher leaders and increase student engagement in the classroom. #LegacyLeads
