December 2024

-- Message from the Directors --

As the holiday season approaches, we eagerly anticipate time with friends and family. Our campus is alive with energy, adorned with trees and twinkling lights. December is bustling with activity as we host district events like the 8th Grade Career Expo and Legacy Campus Showcase Night, along with several festive community celebrations. Between Thanksgiving and Winter Break, it’s a whirlwind of finals, student projects, and classroom achievements.

We’re also thrilled to announce the upcoming construction of Phase II Pathways, made possible thanks to our community’s support in passing 5A. This exciting development will open new doors of opportunity for DCSD students—stay tuned for more updates!

-- Legacy Campus Spotlight --

Opportunity Grant

Our Aviation Pathway is incredibly grateful to have received an Opportunity Grant from the Foundation for Douglas County Schools! The funds will be used to purchase Private Pilot WrittenTest Prep for each one of our Aviation Pathway students. Their first challenge to becoming pilots! The test prep provides an opportunity to tailor practice tests for our students so that when it comes time to take the FAA written test their confidence level will be high which will contribute to high test scores.

Chef's Table

This event resulted from an exciting collaboration with the Foundation for Douglas County Schools, who supported making this luncheon an integral part of their auction event at the Building the Dream Gala. The menu was crafted by our talented students, reflecting the culinary techniques, flavor building, seasonal ingredient selection, and plating and service etiquette we emphasize in our classes. Fresh Point Produce also sponsored the event by donating seasonal produce.

Future Educators

Year 1 Future Educator Pathway students have been observing different grade levels this semester to help them choose the level they want to work with for their entire Field Placement semester in the spring. Next semester they will spend at least 45 hours in a DCSD elementary or middle school classroom. Future Ed students have been invited to read to students, help them with math, participate in physical education classes, and more! They are looking forward to the experiences that await them working with students next semester.

Culinary Winners

Join us in celebrating our winning ProStart students for the Colorado Egg Producers Brunch Reinvention Competition! And a special shout out to Morning Story Restaurants for including our 1st place team on their menu as a featured dish throughout the month of December.

-- Post-Grad Readiness --

DCSD Legacy Campus Counselors are excited to offer presentations to students in our Legacy pathways that highlight essential skills in today's job markets. The skills that will be highlighted in the months to come are communication skills, professionalism, problem solving, and time management. Legacy Campus is partnering with Junior Achievement to bring presentations on essential job skills and resume building as well as offer mock interview opportunities for our students by pathway. These events will be wonderful opportunities for students to become more prepared for life after high school.
