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.
Students' first day at the new Legacy Elementary will be in October, following a public ceremony to introduce the school to the community.
Earlier in the week, families of the victims were given a private tour, and some survivors and families of the victims also attended the public event.
Legacy Elementary is bright, colorful, and full of windows, but those windows are bullet-resistant, and a key card is required to access the classrooms.
