Legacy Early College broke ground Thursday on a $60 million campus at 504 West Marion Road in Berea. The ceremony was scheduled for 11 a.m. The 55-acre campus will serve about 1,300 students in K4 through eighth grade when it opens in fall 2028.
“I have always believed that a child’s zip code should never determine their future, and today we put a shovel in the ground behind that belief.”
Legacy is Greenville's largest Title 1 school and is full, with more than 1,600 students in K4 through 12th grade. The new campus will replace its elementary school on West Washington Street and the K4 Center on Bramlett Road. High schoolers stay at 900 Woodside Ave. in City View.
