New Legacy is the only high school focused on serving teen parents and their children on the east side of the Denver metro area, and it is the only one anywhere in the metro area serving teen fathers. New Legacy is unique among charter schools in that it employs a two-generational (2Gen) approach to education, providing support to both parenting teenagers and their young children.

Family Engagement Policy

The administration, staff, and parents/guardians of NLCS believe that the improved academic achievement of each student is a responsibility shared by the entire school community, including the school, community members, school administration, staff, students, and parents/guardians (as defined for purposes of this policy to all members of a student’s family involved in the student’s education). Parent/guardian involvement activities in the school will include opportunities for:

  • Parents/guardians to volunteer and be involved in school activities: The school has volunteer coordinators who are available to coordinate ways for parents to be involved in the school. They are typically at the school on Tuesday and Thursday mornings or available to meet at other times upon request.
  • Staff development and parent education: There are opportunities throughout the year for parents to learn how they can best support their student’s education.
  • Parents to provide home support for their student’s education: NLCS looks to parents/guardians to ensure that students have a way to get to school every day and to support their ability to do homework at home.
  • Parents to participate in school decision-making: Any parent/guardian is welcome and encouraged to participate on the school’s Accountability Committee, which means bi-monthly on the third Thursday of the month.
  • Effective communication between the school and parents: NLCS sends home communications with students and by mail at the end of each quarter. Updates are also posted on the school’s Facebook page and website. In addition, NLCS does phone blasts with critical information and parents are always welcome and encouraged to communicate with school staff members by email, phone, or in person.

What Students are Saying

“New Legacy provides a small environment, where I have been able to get one-on-one help from my teachers, and where all of the staff know exactly who I am.” 

Efrain Cabanas

“With the many opportunities and experiences that New Legacy had to offer I knew that I would no longer be a statistic, I knew that I would no longer just be the next generation in my family that lives paycheck to paycheck, and I definitely knew that I wouldn’t be stuck working a minimum wage job. Yes, I am a Latina teen mom. But I am proud to say that I broke a cycle. A cycle that my child will only hear of, but she won’t ever have to live.” 

Julissa Martinez

New Legacy Charter School has not only impacted young parents in a positive way, but they also gave us another chance at life. They believed in us when others told us our lives were over. They have left a mark on every child that has stepped foot here.”
