Opening of New Uvalde School Marks "Bittersweet Day" for Families and Town
Legacy Elementary, which replaces Robb Elementary, where 19 students and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting in 2022, will welcome students on October.
Nearly 3½ years after a gunman shot and killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, a new school built to replace the site of the shooting is complete and ready to welcome students.
A public ceremony was held to introduce the school to the community, following a private tour for families of the victims earlier in the week.
Legacy Elementary features bullet-resistant windows and key card access to classrooms, allowing for a secure learning environment.
