Tyler Legacy High School - Empowering a Legacy of Life-Long Learners

🌟 Walk Through Wednesday Champion of the Week 🌟
Congratulations to Mrs. Storms, our outstanding science teacher at Tyler Legacy! Mrs. Storms teaches Pre-AP Biology and AP Environmental Science and continues to set the bar high with engaging, rigorous, and hands-on learning experiences.
This week, she took learning beyond the classroom with a Living Lab, walking her students across to the creek at Rose Rudman Park. Her AP Environmental Science students collected real water samples for testing, giving them an authentic, real-world science experience. 🌱💧
Mrs. Storms holds her students to high expectations while making learning meaningful, interactive, and exciting. Way to go, Mrs. Storms—we are proud to celebrate you! 🧪🔬👏

Today Ms. Baldwin’s Foundation of Career Prep class had an incredible experience at the Chamber of Commerce Career Connections (C4) event!
Students rotated through four 40-minute interactive sessions focused on career pathways, essential skills, résumé building & mock interviews, digital detox, and financial literacy. They also engaged with local professionals through career pathway discussions, gaining real-world insight into career journeys, workplace expectations, and future opportunities.
This hands-on experience gave students real-world insight into careers, money management, and professional skills. Preparing these students for life beyond the classroom!

Today some of our Tyler Legacy AVID students attended the Chamber of Commerce Career Connections at TJC. Chamber of Commerce Career Connections (C4) is a one-day program hosted by the Tyler Area Business Education Council and Chamber of Commerce. Students are connected with over 60 local business professionals where professionals share their work experiences, challenges, and personal backgrounds. Students engage in interactive sessions, hands-on interviewing, résumé reviews with HR professionals, and learn basic money management from finance experts. What a great experience for our students!

🎉 Halfway There, Tyler Legacy! 🎉
To celebrate making it halfway through the school year, our Junior Student Council teamed up with the amazing Culinary classes to treat our staff to something sweet — brookies (because why choose between brownies and cookies when you can have both?).
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this delicious surprise happen. Here’s to finishing the year strong! 💪❤️

Congratulations to Mr. Howard, our latest Walkthrough Wednesday Champion!

Mr. Howard demonstrated a keen ability to not only get students collaborating on notes, but actively processing and making meaning of the content in real time as a team. The level of engagement, discussion, and shared ownership of learning was impressive and exactly what high-impact instruction looks like in action.

Way to model purposeful collaboration and student-centered learning!

Wednesday’s lesson was addressing misconceptions in DNA replication!
