Why it Matters

"They guided me through the scholarship search process, resulting in numerous awards that even lead to refund checks from my school"

"My experience at Legacy Early College was one that I would never forget. The dual enrollment program was my most favorite part. I attend the University of South Carolina, and by obtaining my associates degree through Greenville Tech, I am able to graduate earlier than expected. Being able to get a jumpstart on my college career, through Legacy, helped my family financially and mentally"

"Legacy Early College helped me instill the discipline I desperately needed in order to navigate life's challenges. I am forever thankful for the foundation it provided in shaping me into the person I am today, which is happy and dedicated to being a change in the world." 
 

"As a first-generation college student, Legacy supported my family and me through the dual enrollment program. They provided constant support and invaluable insight into the college experience."

"Legacy Early College is more than a school, it's a family that nurtured my dreams. Its profound support, from the basketball court to the enriching Dual Enrollment program, has propelled me into USC Honors College. Legacy isn't just an alma mater, it's the launchpad of my journey."

"Once I graduated Legacy Early College I felt like my family had Legacy’s full support going to and through college. I made it through college with the support of my family and Legacy. I graduated from Clemson in 2022. As I look back I am very thankful and grateful for the support of Legacy Early College, thank you guys!"

"I was always encouraged by my teachers to keep going. They never made me believe that I was not capable of going to college because of my hispanic origins. They provided me with all the resources I needed to succeed in high school and helped prepare me for college."

"Legacy Early College High School's exacting standards have not only honed my academic prowess but have also instilled in me the confidence to stand out amidst my peers. It's an exhilarating journey, guided by the ethos of excellence and the pursuit of knowledge."

“Legacy has helped me become the person I am now and be a successful person. Legacy is the best school to go to right now if you really want to see yourself succeed.”

“Without Legacy today I don’t think I would have gone to school. Legacy pushes you to apply for schools and they go out and above themselves and I feel like that really helped me.  If I had gone to a public school I wouldn’t have been applying to schools.”

“Legacy paved the pathway for me to go to college, I had teachers, principals, Mr. Brown telling me they were gonna do everything they could to get me scholarships and get me to college and now I am at Furman on a full ride.”

“As a Legacy Early College Alumni it was an honor to graduate from Legacy because the values they instill in their scholars sets you up to be successful in college and the future."

"My favorite thing about Legacy is the community here. The teachers not only get to know you, but they know you personally!"
