"Focused visionary of Education and free thinker and explorer. "

"I am writing to offer my highest and most enthusiastic personal endorsement of you as the owner and visionary leader of Legends Public Charter School & Equity Now.

As a parent of a child enrolled at the school, I have had the privilege of seeing firsthand the extraordinary impact of your leadership. What you have built is far more than a public charter school — it is a thriving community grounded in purpose, excellence, and genuine care for students and families.

Your commitment to educational equity and academic excellence is evident in every aspect of the school. From the culture you have cultivated to the high expectations you set for both staff and scholars, it is clear that your leadership is intentional, hands-on, and deeply student-centered. My child feels supported, challenged, and inspired daily, and that sense of belonging is a direct reflection of your vision.

What distinguishes you as a leader is your ability to balance rigor with compassion. Under your guidance, the school not only prioritizes academic achievement, but also character development, confidence, and leadership. These values are embedded into the fabric of the school and are consistently reinforced by a staff that clearly shares and executes your mission.

As a parent, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your children are learning in an environment led by someone who genuinely cares about their growth, safety, and future. Your presence, accessibility, and unwavering dedication have created a school where families feel heard, respected, and valued.

I recommend you without reservation and with complete confidence. The impact of your leadership extends far beyond the classroom and will continue to shape the lives of students and families for years to come. It is an honor to be part of a school community under your ownership and leadership.

With sincere gratitude and respect,

Loren Kryder-Hicks"
