Student Leadership
Leadership at Legacy Christian Academy is rooted in the example of Jesus Christ, who taught that true leadership begins with humility and service. Students are encouraged to discover and develop their God-given gifts while learning to influence others with wisdom, integrity, compassion, and courage. Student Life encompasses the programs of Athletics, National Honor Society, Worship Team, The Associated House Council, and Student Advisory.
Associated House Council
The purpose of the Associated House Council is to cultivate a Christ-centered community where every student is known, valued, challenged, and encouraged to grow. Legacy Christian Academy is committed to expanding meaningful leadership opportunities, strengthening school spirit, fostering healthy competition, encouraging community service, and building authentic relationships across grade levels.The pillars of the Associated House Council are:
Christ-Centered Relationships: cultivating authentic, encouraging relationships rooted in the love of Christ.
Service: joyfully serving our school, our local community, and the Kingdom of God.
Discipleship: growing spiritually while encouraging and mentoring others in their walk with Christ.
Leadership: developing servant leaders who model excellence, responsibility, initiative, and biblical character.
The values of The Associated House Council are the spiritual gifts of working together, sharpening one another, refreshment, power of words in communication and reflection, conflict resolution, respectfulness, and encouragement in being rooted in Christ are what we have set forth to dwell on through service outside of self. As reflected in 1 Corinthians 12:26-27 "If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."
National Honor Society
The National Honor Society (N.H.S.) membership has been the true mark of student achievement for over 100 years. By empowering, championing, and recognizing well-rounded students, N.H.S. provides schools with a values-based framework to elevate a culture of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. (nationalhonorsociety.org/about)
N.H.S. centers around four distinct pillars: Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. These principles are transformative keys that unlock potential, enhancing every student’s educational journey, and ultimately empowering them to make profound, enduring contributions to our world:
Scholarship represents a dedicated commitment to lifelong learning. It necessitates a consistent effort with an aspiration to contribute positively to the world through one’s own knowledge, skills, and experiences.
Service represents the choice of stepping outside oneself to meet the needs of others, fueled by an unwavering passion for a cause, heartfelt empathy for others, or driven by personal circumstances.
Leadership is more than a position or title; it means embodying the spirit of initiative, innovation, and influence. It’s about inspiring peers through actions, nurturing a collaborative environment, and championing positive change.
Character is the essence of who we are. It lies not in public acts of virtue or visible mistakes, but in the consistent commitment to ethical and compassionate decision-making that positively affects both oneself and others.
Athletics
Our mission is to develop student athletes who glorify God through excellence in sports, Christlike character, and a commitment to academic and personal growth. Through disciplined training, teamwork, and servant leadership, we prepare students to be college-ready competitors and faithful followers of Jesus Christ in all areas of life.
Our vision is to cultivate a Christ centered athletic culture where every student athlete pursues their God given potential spiritually, academically, and athletically. We envision graduates who influence the world for Christ, compete with integrity, and lead with purpose in college and beyond.
Christlikeness: We strive to reflect the character of Jesus in our actions, attitudes, and relationships on and off the field/court.
Integrity: We compete honestly and uphold the highest standards of sportsmanship, win or lose.
Discipline: We pursue excellence through consistent effort, accountability, and a strong work ethic.
Teamwork: We support one another, put the team before ourselves, and value every role as essential to the body of Christ.
Respect: We treat coaches, teammates, opponents, officials, and ourselves with dignity and honor.
Service Leadership: We lead by example, placing the needs of others before our own and using our gifts to uplift our community.
Academic Commitment: We recognize that athletics and academics go hand in hand, and we are committed to being students first - college worthy and Christ honoring.
The Four Houses
The House System is a major element of the Legacy Christian Academy Student Life Department and program. The spiritual gifts of working together, sharpening one another, refreshment, power of words in communication and reflection, conflict resolution, respectfulness, and encouragement in being rooted in Christ are what we have set forth as pillars to the Student Life program at Legacy Christian Academy. The Houses and their members each play a unique role in the cultivation of a Christ-centered community for shepherding, vocations, and leadership can thrive. It is the goal and mission of the Student Life Department to provide such opportunities for every student to lean into their spiritual gifts and benefit from this unique Christian community. The Houses play such a role as this in their foundational pillars of Relationship Building, Service, Ministry to School, and Student Leadership.
The Legacy Christian Academy Houses are Elliot, Mueller, Bonhoeffer, and Tozer. Members include 7-12th Grade Students and Faculty.
