-- Message from the Directors --

February was an exciting month at Legacy Campus as we celebrated Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, reinforcing our commitment to equipping students with the skills and experiences they need for success beyond the classroom.

One highlight was our mock interviews, made possible through a fantastic partnership with Junior Achievement and an incredible group of industry volunteers. Students had the opportunity to sharpen their interview skills, receive real-time feedback, and gain confidence as they prepare for their future careers.

Additionally, we hosted our first-ever Career Fair last Friday, welcoming over 50 companies and organizations from across the region. This event provided students with invaluable networking opportunities, exposure to various industries, and a chance to explore potential career paths. Seeing our students engage with professionals, ask insightful questions, and take steps toward their professional futures was truly inspiring.

At Legacy Campus, we remain focused on our mission of providing students with a competitive advantage as they transition from high school to college, careers, and beyond. We are incredibly grateful to our industry partners, volunteers, and educators who help make these experiences possible. Your support strengthens our students' pathways to success, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in the months ahead!

Future Ed Conference

Future Educator students attended the University of Northern Colorado Future Teacher Conference in February where they heard a message from the current Colorado Teacher of the Year and participated in learning workshops and other campus activities. This event brings over 550 aspiring educators together each year to connect and learn together.

Culinary Students Cater DLT Meeting

Our 2nd year culinary students catered a beautiful breakfast for the Douglas County School District Leadership Team's February meeting. Hospitality is at the forefront of everything they do and it shows with their professional display and attention to detail.

Career & Hiring Fair

DCSD Legacy Campus Career & Hiring Fair was a huge success! It was great to see the students dressed so professionally with resumes in hand. There were lots of great conversations and we had 50 vendors sharing opportunities with students. We are grateful for everyone that made this even possible and can't wait to hear the amazing results that arise from this event.
