What is your favorite thing about Legacy?
My favorite thing about Legacy is the people. There is such a positive energy here, and it is clear that everyone is focused on doing what is best for students. I also love how involved our student body is in the school. We have so many outstanding organizations, teams, and programs that there are honestly too many to name, and we are so lucky to have all of them. Our students bring so much pride, talent, energy, and school spirit to campus. They support their teachers, support each other, and bring so much joy and laughter to every day.
Fun Fact(s)?
I am an Advanced Open Water SCUBA diver and a first-degree black belt in karate. I am also going to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, and I am excited to support Team USA. This is one of my favorite quotes: "If you are persistent, you'll get it. If you're consistent, you'll keep it. If you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
Thank you to our community partners for providing meals and other goodies for our staff of the month winners: Whataburger, Dairy Queen, Crumbl and Raising Cane's!
