As you drive along Crosstown Parkway in Port St. Lucie, you can see the progress on the construction of the new high school, Legacy High School. Currently, crews have completed the student parking lot and established the building’s foundation. The school’s official colors have also been selected.
The new high school, Legacy High School, in Port St. Lucie is scheduled to open in August 2025.
This facility will be located at 14505 SW Crosstown Parkway in the Tradition area and aims to serve a student population of approximately 2,000 students.
Construction on the school began in August 2023 and marks the district’s first new public high school in nearly 20 years, with an estimated cost of $93 million.
The name “Legacy” was unanimously approved by the St. Lucie County School Board, and the school is expected to offer academic programs aligned with the community’s economic needs, particularly in sectors like healthcare and hospitality.
This project is designed to relieve classroom overcrowding and address the region’s population growth. Legacy High School will have a capacity for over 2,000 students and will offer unique academic programs, including dental assistance, global logistics, and sports medicine.
The opening is scheduled for August 2025, starting with grades 9 through 11 and adding 12th grade later.
The opening of Legacy High School is part of a broader effort to address the school district’s steady growth, which increases by approximately 1,500 students per year, reaching a current enrollment of 42,000 students.
