Enjoy a bird’s eye view of Tustin Unified School District’s Legacy Magnet Academy, which is under construction and will open on August 13 for the 2020-21 school year with approximately 460 students in grades six through nine.  The new middle/high school is located near the mammoth wooden blimp hangars in the Tustin Legacy development (former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station) at the corner of Tustin Ranch Road and Valencia Avenue.  Principal Dr. Jennifer Harrison said her teachers are currently participating in training and developing their curricular units for the coming school year.  Additionally, the school counselor is helping seventh- and eighth-grade students enroll in Irvine Valley College’s Entrepreneurship Program and ninth graders in IVC’s public speaking and speech and debate courses.  Legacy Magnet Academy is designed for students who wish to pursue their interests in Technology, Innovation, Design and Entrepreneurship (TIDE).  Just like the famous blimp, everyone at the school is expecting a Goodyear.
