    LOCATION: Greenville, SC

    SALARY RANGE: $115,000 - $140,000

    CANDIDATE PROFILE

    ▶  The Relentless Instructional Driver

    A school leader who treats college readiness as the non-negotiable center of every decision. They have a proven track record of moving high school scholars to mastery - reflected in graduation rates, ACT scores, and postsecondary enrollment. They are fluent in college-preparatory curriculum and dual enrollment systems, and they use data as a daily leadership tool, not a reporting exercise. When achievement gaps persist, they go after them.

    ▶  The Systems Builder

    A leader who understands that a high school's culture of achievement is a product of tight, well-executed infrastructure - not personality alone. They design clear routines, manage complex scheduling (including dual enrollment logistics), hold the line on them daily, and ensure every adult knows what excellence looks and feels like at each moment of the school day.

    ▶  The Culture Keeper

    A leader for whom school culture is never an accident. They build warm, purposeful, high-expectation environments through visible presence and consistent follow-through. They know culture lives in arrival, dismissal, transitions, celebrations, and dual enrollment milestones - and they show up for all of it. They carry the "To and Through College" belief in everything they do.

    ▶  The People Architect

    A developer of adults who understands Legacy's ceiling is set by the quality of its leadership team. They build and coach Assistant Principals, Deans, and instructional leaders with genuine investment, creating environments where feedback flows freely and people stay because they feel seen, developed, and part of something larger than themselves.

    ▶  The Grounded Owner

    A leader who takes full accountability for outcomes without deflecting. When things get hard, they get calm. They model the growth mindset they expect from every adult and scholar on campus - because the scholars at Legacy deserve nothing less than a leader who owns the mission completely.

    LOCATION: Colorado (any location)

    SALARY RANGE: $130,000

    CANDIDATE PROFILE

    • ▶️ The Visionary Founder: A courageous entrepreneur with a clear, bold vision for a "trajectory-changing" school that addresses the specific needs of a Colorado community.

    • ▶️ The Relentless Learner: A high-capacity individual ready to immerse themselves in a rigorous, two-year training program to master the complexities of school design and operations.

    • ▶️ The Community Catalyst: A leader who can build deep local roots, mobilizing families, boards, and stakeholders to support the birth of a new, high-quality educational option.

    • ▶️ The Single-Site Specialist: A focused advocate committed to the "hands-on" work of launching a single, high-performing charter school from the ground up.

    ROLE SUMMARY

    The Legacy Fellowship is an elite, two-year incubator designed for visionary school founders committed to transforming the educational landscape of Colorado. This fellowship recognizes that creating a "trajectory-changing" school requires more than just a good idea; it requires a specialized set of skills in leadership, finance, curriculum design, and community engagement. By providing a generous $125,000 annual salary for two years, the program allows Fellows to step away from their current roles and dedicate their full energy to the rigorous work of launching a high-quality, single-site charter school.

    Throughout the fellowship, participants transition from the "dreaming" phase to the "doing" phase, receiving the training and coaching necessary to navigate Colorado's unique charter landscape. The ultimate goal of the Legacy Fellowship is to ensure that when the school's doors finally open, the founder has built a sustainable, high-performing institution that provides students with an education of the highest caliber. This is a rare opportunity for transformative leaders to turn their passion for equity and excellence into a brick-and-mortar reality for the children and families of Colorado.
