Legacy is a Safe School

Ensuring a safe school environment is crucial for the well-being and development of students, staff, and the broader school community. Legacy Charter Academy received the NHA Safety Award for the 2022-23 school year for achieving the highest ratings for safety on both the parent and staff surveys. We completed all required safety drills, and participated in the 2022-23 NHA Safety Week, a week set aside to educate staff and students on safety at school.

Measuring Success

At Legacy Charter Academy, we're here to help children grow and succeed. We answer the important question "are students learning" by measuring student success in a number of ways. This gives our principal, deans, and teachers information they can turn into action.
