Conclusion
Opening with a foundation in Global Studies & Languages, Legacy High School began offering more choices in foreign
languages than any high school in the state of Nevada, however, economic and outdated delivery systems
restricted number of languages offered.
The current proposal, by adapting technology to further the mission as well as interacting with educational
institutions around the world can return Legacy to being a national leader in language offerings, as well as fulfills the
school’s promise of engaging in a global community. Instructional Designer & Contact person:
