Dear Legacy Leadership High School Community,

Welcome to the inaugural year of Legacy Leadership High School (LLHS)! I’m thrilled to begin this journey with each of you as we step into a year filled with promise, purpose, and possibility.

Here at LLHS, located in the heart of Brownsville, Brooklyn, we are more than just a school—we are a community dedicated to leading the way and shaping the future. Our mission is to collaborate with families, community partners, educators, and most importantly, our students, to create a supportive and asset-based environment. This means we see the unique strengths in every single student and build upon them.

We provide a rigorous and relevant education designed to equip you with essential 21st-century skills—critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication—to ensure you are fully prepared for life beyond high school, whether your path leads to college, a career, or both.

At LLHS, we believe every student has unique strengths, and we’re committed to helping you discover and grow those talents in a community that values curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. Know that this is a place where your voice matters and your potential is limitless.

As we move forward together, remember that learning happens both inside and outside the classroom. Lean on your teachers, engage with your peers, and take pride in the progress you make. You are not alone on this journey, we are here to support, challenge, and celebrate you every step of the way.

We invite all our families and community members to join us in this important work. Together, we can ensure our students are not only ready for the future but are poised to lead it.

Here’s to a year of meaningful growth, bold goals, and memorable moments. Let’s make it a great one!

With warmth and commitment,

Jennifer Shirley Brown, Ed.D.

Principal, Legacy Leadership High School
