Founder's Note:
The New Year always brings us the opportunity to reflect on the previous year and to look forward with fresh eyes, renewed faith, and hope for the future. While many make resolutions that they do not keep for long, the exercise of reflection and vision casting is still worthwhile.
As we look over 2024, we can celebrate God's faithfulness to Legacy Academy, our staff, the families we serve, and our students. While each one of us may face various adversities and difficulties from time to time, looking back allows us to see God's faithful care for us through hardship. Certainly, we can see that the Lord has been gracious to Legacy Academy. He's blessed us with a great campus, an excellent staff, and superb families committed to the importance of Christian education.
Looking forward allows us to fill our hearts with the promises of God. The unfolding future is beautiful when we know we rest securely in the Lord's hands. We look forward to taking additional steps toward our campus upgrades and to next year providing Education Freedom Accounts for every student! What a blessing that will be! In the new semester we have the finish of basketball season, track, Spring Follies, Spring Formal, and Commencement all in front of us. It is a beautiful thing to see God's continued work in the hearts of each of our students.
It is our prayer that you and your family can take some time to reflect and look forward. Happy New Year. We pray that 2025 is your best year yet and we are excited to be on this journey with you.
