Our Mission Statement

To provide a well-packaged educational service in partnership with the home and community which will produce youths who are mentally alert, technically equipped and culturally exposed to decent standards for a result oriented and fulfilled future.

School History

The history of the school is in two phases. The first phase came to fruition in 1989 with the establishment of Legacy Continuing Education Centre. The Centre was primarily aimed at educating unschooled and half educated; preparing school students who were unfortunate in their final examinations for the WAEC-conducted General Certificate of Education (later Senior Secondary School Certificate) as private candidates. In both areas, the centre was very successful as testified to by the products of the scheme today. However, that actually was not the ultimate direction but, it served as a good starting point. Since then the school has not looked back. Today it regularly presents candidates for both the Junior and Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination. Performances of the school in these Examinations are a source of inspiration and pride to the community. The concept and realization of this High School was the b rain child of the proprietress, Chief (Mrs) Paulene Ndidi Oshunrinde. Â
