School Overview

Legacy Options High School, located in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood of Denver, is an alternative education campus within the Denver Public Schools (DPS) district. Designed for students who may not thrive in a traditional high school setting, the school focuses on providing a personalized, flexible, and supportive environment. Its mission is to help students who have fallen behind in credits or require a non-traditional approach to complete their high school education, earn their diplomas, and prepare for life after graduation.

The school emphasizes a "student-first" culture that prioritizes strong relationships between staff and pupils. By utilizing smaller class sizes and individualized learning plans, Legacy Options provides the academic and social-emotional support necessary for students to overcome barriers to their education. Whether through credit recovery programs or specialized instruction, the school aims to bridge the gap for students seeking a second chance to reach their full potential within the DPS system.
