Message from the Directors
As we head into this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to thank our students, families, and staff for the incredible energy and dedication you bring to the Legacy Campus each day. Your hard work and partnership make this a truly special place to learn and grow.
With finals approaching, this is a great time to check grades and attendance, and to make sure students are keeping up with their college-level coursework. Every day in class matters, and consistent attendance helps students stay on top of their learning and finish the semester strong.
We’re also feeling thankful for the exciting progress on our Phase II construction—a sign of continued growth and new opportunities ahead for our programs and students.
Wishing you and your families a restful and joy-filled Thanksgiving season!

Aviation Discovery Flight Field Trip
Student in the Aviation Pathway were able to tour the Colorado Air and Space Port learning about airport operations, including the control tower. In addition, 87 students had the amazing opportunity to experience a Discovery Flight with a licensed instructor in a Cessna 172SP G1000 and log meaningful flight time. For many of our students this was their first real-world experience flying a plane. Thank you to Aspen Flying Club, Colorado Air & Space Port, Wings Over the Rockies and our Legacy Campus Aviation staff for putting together such a great experience for the students!
CNA Field Trip
Big thanks to Parker AdventHealth for hosting 40 of our CNA students from Legacy Campus! Students toured departments, explored career paths, and gained great insight from nurses and CNAs.
