About
Equipping and inspiring students to impact the world for Christ
Welcome to Legacy Christian School, an Anabaptist, K-12 school located in Sugarcreek, Ohio. LCS seeks to provide a high-quality, Christian education from an Anabaptist perspective. The community school is composed of approximately 200 students from many different families and churches. Our goal is to work alongside churches and families to equip and inspire students to impact the world for Christ.
LCS focuses on training students in four key areas: academic excellence, music appreciation, Anabaptist worldview, and spiritual growth. We work toward accomplishing these goals by using carefully sourced, nationally recognized curriculum, teaching choral music to all grade levels, teaching Anabaptist history and worldview, and incorporating Bible classes and Bible memory for all ages.
LCS staff members are Bible believing Christians who have a passion for teaching. Most teachers in grades K-6 teach all core subjects, providing stability for students. In grades 7-12 teachers focus on subjects they are most suited to teach, providing a diverse learning experience for the students. Breakthrough teachers provide additional support for students through the Barton Reading Program and extra tutoring.
The staff, students, families, and churches work together to build a school that builds the Kingdom of Christ.
Community
Many families working together is what makes LCS able to provide education to the community.

I’m a natural extrovert, and my happiness thrives when I’m surrounded by people. This involves things like discovering new places, going on tiny adventures, trying new coffee shops, and spending quality time with the people that I love. But I also love traveling, baking, photography, and doing anything ocean related.
Switzerland, England, Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Mexico, Canada.
I am involved in school as a teacher because I believe in the power of education to shape lives and communities. Being a part of the school environment allows me to share knowledge, inspire young minds, and contribute to the growth and development of future generations. It’s a platform where I can foster a love for learning and for others. Watching students discover and learn new things is undeniably one of the most rewarding aspects of being a teacher. I am grateful and thrilled to be a part of the team at Legacy.

Sharing experiences with others is important to me. While my students weren’t there at a historical event, or with me when I traveled to Italy or tried a unique food, sharing these with them will hopefully broaden their horizons and spark interest in new and exciting things.

I am teaching at school because education is needed for basic functioning in life. Without learning how to read or write at school, you wouldn’t know how to read common things such as road signs or which type of milk your mom asked you to buy at the store. Words are all around us. Another reason I am teaching at school is because I believe education is a valuable tool that we can use to further God’s kingdom. Not everyone needs to be a speed reader or publish ten page articles every week, but we do need to know how to read the Bible and how respond to people’s questions about Christianity. Our children need to know how to function within the basic world so that they have the ability and tools to further God’s kingdom. That is why I decided to teach at school.

I ended up in music due to my youth group voting me in to be choir director kind of as a joke. I saw the positive impact group music making has on people and communities. My goal is to give every student the tools to participate in group singing and instill a love of music that stays with them well beyond graduation.
