The mission of The Legacy Empowerment Center is to be an extension of the school day program, offering students a safe learning environment, with opportunities to explore, experience, and participate in activities leading to increased academic performance and the development of healthy social and emotional wellness.

We envision students who become inspired to learn and reach their highest potential, leading them to become productive citizens, able to contribute to the wellbeing of their family and the community within which they live. We envision students empowered to increase their proficiency in reading and math, experience high-quality S.T.E.A.M enrichment activities, engage in health and wellness activities, all while developing respectful and healthy peer relationships.

The purpose of this program is the provide multi-tiered supports that address the students’ barriers to achievement, such as strategies to improve chronic absenteeism, antisocial behaviors, academic growth, and enhancement of parent and family engagement. This program will focus on minimizing student class size when providing instruction or instructional support and expansion of student access to high-quality learning activities and academic support that strengthens student engagement and leverages community-based resources, which may include mentoring services and private-sector employer involvement.
