Rising TIDE

Hello Legacy Families!

I would like to begin by letting you know how much your teachers, office staff, and I appreciate each of you. The flexibility and grace you each have demonstrated throughout the last two weeks exemplify what makes our LMA community such a special place.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in person again soon. We are working closely with our district administrative team to develop a plan with a focus on our students and staff’s safety and in-person instruction as the top priorities. We look forward to sharing this plan with you soon.

We hope that you are able to enjoy this week with family and friends, catching up on some much-deserved rest and relaxation. We appreciate your ongoing support of Legacy Magnet Academy and look forward to continuing with a wonderful year as we partner together to deliver the best program to our students!

Thank you!

Take care and stay safe,

Dr. Harrison, Principal

Dear LMA and Heritage Families:

As we move into the Thanksgiving Recess, we want to continue to acknowledge the difficulties and hardships the Tustin Hangar fire incident has presented for our entire community, especially our Heritage Elementary School and Legacy Magnet Academy (LMA) students, staff, and families. We want to express our deepest appreciation for your collective grace and patience during this time. We continue to work closely with the Incident Management Team (IMT), in addition to local, State and Federal agencies to get all of our schools safely reopened.

Please know that we recognize the resiliency and determination you have demonstrated over the past eleven days. We continue to work on reopening plans and contingencies, including the exploration of multiple options, specific to LMA and Heritage, students, and staff. We will continue to share updates with you throughout the Thanksgiving Recess and are committed to continuous communication.

With gratitude,

Mark Johnson, Ed.D.

Hi! My name is Jocelyn, and I’m excited to be a part of the first graduating class of LMA. I have actively served as CFO in ASB for 3 years, establishing the student store, implementing operational systems, and coordinating community service projects. Beyond that, I enjoy scrapbooking, music, and friends & family. After high school, I plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree, preferably in California, majoring in Finance, Accounting, or Business Administration. I get excited about balancing numbers and I’m eager to learn more, thanks to my ASB, Virtual Enterprise, and CHOC hospital internship experience.

Through Legacy, I’ve learned the importance of reaching out for opportunities and the significance of communication in leadership. I’m thankful for the real-world skills we’ve learned at Legacy, for example, public speaking, being culturally competent, and business management. As for the future, I’m excited to see where it takes me. Although sometimes it’s scary to think about because of its uncertainty, I know living in the present is most important. In ten years I hope to have a stable job that I enjoy, either in finance or teaching, or maybe even being the owner of a stationary store. :) I honestly have no clue but I hope I’m living a fulfilling life in happiness.

Hello, my name is Zenji Van Zutphen. Here at LMA, I am a Co-founder of the Makers Club and Videography Club and a part of ASB as the CTO. In my free time, I like to tinker with technology, try new hobbies like guitar or soldering, and listen to music. After high school, I would like to attend a 4-year college and then take a gap year afterward. Through all the credits we have accumulated here at Legacy, I already have a head start on college; taking a gap year would be manageable. My dream colleges are UC Berkeley and Stanford. I love the weather in North California, and both Berkeley and Stanford have excellent programs and majors. I plan to major in business, focusing on the emerging technology world. I would also like to double major in some science and stay in college for four years. For example, the new BUAI (Artificial Intelligence for Business) major from USC is a major I am applying for. From Legacy, I will take all the skills centered around business and entrepreneurship to become as successful as possible. I also will bring early real-world experiences gained through various opportunities at Legacy. All these skills and experiences will put me ahead of others and allow me to succeed. If I could see myself in 10 years (27 years old), I would see myself working in the tech sector, either helping get a new business off the ground or in a leadership position. I am feeling confident in my future. It is in my hands, and I am ready to go to college and learn more.
