Legacy High School (LHS) is a public high school located in Bismarck, North Dakota. Legacy was founded following a $55 million bond approval in 2012, with students attending classes at other locations run by Bismarck Public Schools while the campus was under construction. Before Legacy was established, the last public high school to open in Bismarck was Century High School in 1975.[2] The school has a graduation rate of 96%.[3]
History
Legacy High School was established with the passage of a $55 million bond for the school's construction in 2012. In the 2013–2014 school year while the school was under construction, freshmen attended classes at the Bismarck State College Career Academy. During the following year, freshmen and sophomores were moved to the Hughes Education Center, the central administration building for Bismarck Public Schools. Finally, in the 2015–2016 school year, students attended school in the finished campus at 3400 East Calgary Avenue.[2]
In the 2016–2017 school year, Legacy had its first graduating class.

Fine Arts
