The Tide Times is Legacy Magnet Academy’s first student-led newsletter.

The idea blossomed during COVID-19, when our Editor-In-Chief, Kavya Thakrar, observed a heightened need for social connection. People were separated, school was at a slower pace, and FaceTime calls and messages became a regular occurrence.

But when things returned to it’s (somewhat) normal state, the speed that we lived in during quarantine accelerated. The question of “what college do I want to go to?” turned into “how am I going to get into that college?” It was a wake-up call for many.

While it may have felt like a lonesome process, many other people of all ages went through the same situation, not only questioning things like college but prompting deeper questions about the future.

That’s where The Tide Times comes in… a platform for students to communicate with other students through the art of articles, embodying our slogan: for students, by students.

We hope you enjoy surfing through our sea of stories.
