At Tulsa Legacy Charter School, education sparks curiosity, builds character, and nurtures a deep sense of belonging. The Scholar Experience is designed to grow the whole child: academically, socially, and emotionally. Through joyful learning and strong relationships, scholars move forward with confidence and purpose.

Three Prides. One Roar.

A hallmark of the Legacy experience is our Pride System. Every scholar — and every teacher — belongs to one of three Prides: Shaka, Desiderio, or Ohana. Each Pride reflects two of our CREATE values, ensuring that the full set of six is woven into everyday life at TLCS.

  • Shaka – Commitment & Rigor
  • Desiderio – Excellence & Achievement
  • Ohana – Teamwork & Empathy

CREATE Values

Our CREATE values guide every decision, interaction, and classroom moment. Together, they ensure our scholars and staff are empowered to build lasting legacies:

C: Commitment

R: Rigor

E: Excellence

A: Achievement

T: Teamwork

E: Empathy

The Wonder of Belonging

When a scholar joins Legacy, their Pride becomes a home base throughout their years here. Prides are designed to bring people together across classrooms, grades, and campuses. Scholars gain mentors, encourage younger peers, and form friendships that carry on year after year.

Prides create community with a sense of wonder and spirit. They are places where every scholar is seen, valued, and celebrated for their unique strengths. Prides:

  • Compete in academic and spirit-based challenges.
  • Carry their own chants, traditions, and celebrations.
  • Connect both campuses into one unified Legacy family.

Through this system, TLCS builds a strong and lasting community where all scholars feel they are part of something bigger than themselves.

United in Spirit. Driven by Pride.

The Pride System makes TLCS a place where values are lived daily, mentorship thrives, and learning is filled with joy. Scholars discover belonging, build confidence, and gain the skills to leave a legacy of their own.
