"He has lowered his scoring in each of his contests---a tough feat for any golfer," said Coach Trueman. 

Just last week Kasper shot a 92 at Canyon Creek Country Club in a High School Tournament.  "He won a 5^th Place medal in his bracketing," said Coach Trueman. "It was the lowest score in tournament play that an LCA golf team member has ever shot (until this week), and he is the first ever to place for a medal!"

Dyllan came to Legacy Christian Academy as a 6th grader. He practices a lot of his spelling using www.spellingcity.com. There are 1,763 words on the spelling list for him to study.

"I was excited to win because I knew I was going to regionals," said Dyllan. "And I knew I was going to get the plaque. I saw the winner last year receive the plaque, and I knew I wanted to win that too."

Congratulations Dyllan!

Dr. Harmon, Headmaster at LCA, opened the ceremony followed by Mr. Ronnie Littleton, High School Principal, who led the prayer and dedication of the new building. With much excitement, those cutting the ribbon moved into place. The ribbon cutters included four seniors who started at LCA as kindergarteners when it opened in 1999, Seniors Aubrey Allison, Nic Kiernan, Parker Todd and Patrick Tomeny, as well as two faculty members who have been here since the school opened, Mrs. Sandra Clark and Mrs. Lin Mayberry. As the LCA fight song played, the ribbon was cut and a cheer arose in the crowd.

“This is an exciting day for our LCA family; the opening of the first phase of our high school building. The high school incorporates our computer-enhanced learning environment (iLegacy) into the design of every classroom. Since our students have class in a 1:1 laptop learning environment we designed a building that would meet the technology needs of our students and staff,” said Dr. Harmon. “We have integrated technology into our curriculum at all grade levels, preschool – 12^th grade, to provide our students a broader platform for learning and to prepare them for college. With this new building, we are well-prepared to accommodate the demand we are seeing for a private, Christian education.”

Construction of the new high school building began on Legacy’s 32-acre campus less than a year ago. The building has been funded through the generous gifts of donors, some as young as 4 years old. Additional phases to be constructed include a Fine Arts Center and additional instructional space.

“It is exciting to see the new high school building completed. The Lord has truly blessed our Legacy family with the addition of this incredibly beautiful new facility. The faith and vision of the parents of Legacy is the main reason we are at this point in the history of our school,” said Mr. Ronnie Littleton, High School Principal.

The journey to this special day began more than 13 years ago, long before Legacy Drive or Stonebrook Parkway were paved, the founding families met on the property riding all-terrain vehicles on the site that would eventually become Legacy Christian Academy. Their desire: to honor God and provide a place for students to receive a Christian education.

January 4 will long be remembered as a special day in the history and heritage of Legacy Christian Academy. While some students finish out their senior year in the new high school, others will just be beginning their high school journey. Even more LCA students await the day when they “finally get to high school.”

“Legacy has been honored in many ways. I look forward to seeing our students matriculate to top tier universities so that they can come back to North Texas and impact our community in positive ways,” said Dr. Harmon.
