Board of Directors
Legacy Charter School’s Board of Directors is responsible for the fiscal and operational oversight of the school. Partnering with our Executive Director, Liz Goss, and Legacy’s leadership team, the board provides strategic direction and accountability. A key focus of the board is to connect Legacy to resources that support our mission and enhance the scholar experience. Legacy’s board of directors meets quarterly. Sub-committees meet between board meetings to focus on tactical goals.
The Legacy board includes professionals from various sectors, including corporate, education, social services, legal, and the arts, as well as recent alumni and scholar-parent representation. This dynamic group of leaders ensures that Legacy consistently provides the best educational opportunities for our scholars.
