Midland Lee High School, renamed to “Lee” after a brief time as Legacy High School, is a public, co-educational secondary school in Midland, Texas. Lee High School is a part of the Midland Independent School District.
History The school originally opened its doors in 1961, seven years before the city’s high schools integrated. Named after Robert E. Lee, in October 2020 the Midland ISD school board voted to rename the school "Legacy High School". The Midland ISD board vote to rename had six board members voting for, and one voting against the school's name change. However, in August 2025, a vote decided to reinstate the nomenclature to the school, this time as “Lee High School”, by a vote of 4-3. The name change will go into effect ahead of the 2026-27 school year. The feeder junior highs of Midland Lee High School are Abell Junior High School, Home of the Eagles, and Alamo Junior High School, home of the Scouts. The school is planning to build a new campus in the western area of Midland. It is expected to be ready by the 2028 school year.
