Legacy Christian Academy is excited to welcome Rachel Constantinescu as our Lower School Principal for the 2022-2023 school year. She brings over twenty-two years of educational experience to her new role. Since 2019, she has served as the principal of Press Elementary in McKinney, TX. Prior to her last eight years in education administration, Mrs. Constantinescu (pronounced Con-stant-in-eskew) served as an instructional coach and classroom teacher including five years in Christian schools. She received her bachelor of science in Bible and elementary education from Baptist Bible College and her master's of education in educational leadership from UT Tyler.

“As an educator and a mother, I understand the importance and impact of the partnership between home and school. I am excited to partner with parents and staff in shaping students spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally with a biblical worldview so they can impact our world,” said Mrs. Constantinescu. “Legacy Christian Academy has a long-standing tradition of honoring God through a commitment to excellence. It is an honor to join the incredible staff of the LCA Lower School to continue to build upon this tradition. Together we will raise up students that love God and love others.” 

The excitement among many of the faculty in the Lower School is palpable. Legacy Art teacher Pam Dyer shared “I am so impressed with her energy, her love for the Lord, and her dedication to students. She impressed me with how she truly knows all of her students and genuinely supports her staff in creative and meaningful ways.” 

“Every time she spoke with us,” says 4th-grade teacher Kerri Thompson, “she beautifully intertwined God. Her love for being part of the students’ lives and her passion for loving her staff with her actions truly impressed me. God has blessed her with amazing vision and leadership.”    

“Rachel brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership experience as our new Lower School Principal. Rachel distinguished herself among a pool of over thirty applicants as a passionate leader who desires to build her team of educators to effectively impact the lives of our young learners and lead them to a personal relationship with Jesus. I am excited to see her use her gifts to inspire learning and share God's truth.”  — Kevin Mosley, Associate Head of School
