Groundbreaking Ceremony: Legacy Traditional School Columbia

On behalf of Legacy Traditional Schools, Superintendent Dr. Jenni Turney, and Founding Principal Dr. Lauren Prochak, it is our honor to invite you to the Groundbreaking Ceremony for our flagship South Carolina campus in Columbia.

Legacy Traditional Schools is a network of tuition-FREE public charter schools, founded in 2007 and now serving more than 26,000 students across Arizona, Nevada, and Texas, and we’re coming to South Carolina!

Our new two-story, 80,604-square-foot flagship campus will sit on over 16 acres for students in grades K-8, opening in fall 2026.

At Legacy, we’re committed to helping every student win in and out of the classroom. Our traditional, back-to-basics curriculum builds strong foundations in reading, writing, and mathematics, while developing well-rounded kids through the arts, athletics, and innovative clubs and programs.

As the first South Carolina campus, Legacy - Columbia will set the standard for future LTS campuses across the state, making this a groundbreaking milestone moment for students, families, and community leaders.

The program will feature remarks from local leaders, a ceremonial dirt-in-shovel turning, and a celebration of the bright future ahead for Columbia families.

We are grateful for your leadership and commitment to our community, and we look forward to celebrating this milestone together.
