Legacy Christian Academy Completes Summer Renovation Projects Just in Time for Back to School
When the students are away, the administration will play - or, at least, prepare! During the summer, staff at Legacy Christian Academy invested in upgrades that will improve the educational experience when learners arrive back on campus in the fall. Just some of the completed projects include:

"We have also invited a news anchor to visit and provide feedback for our news desk area and a voice over actress to discuss sound equipment and layout," shares Head of School Matt Millett. "Both meetings were very helpful and, with their direction, we'll have a top-of-the-line space for our students - and potential outside professionals."
