New Names: Legacy and Tyler High School passed by TISD

TYLER — The names have changed of two high schools in Tyler. In a board meeting Thursday, Tyler ISD board members voted to replace the name of Robert E. Lee High School with Legacy High School. The vote was 6-1 in favor of Legacy. Also in a 6-1 vote, John Tyler High School reverted back to Tyler High School, which it had originally been before it changed in 1958 to JT. Both High Schools will keep the same mascots. The board now has the task of paying for the changes, that could cost over $300,000.
