Growing Together With a New Head of School

by: Jorie Buie (’24)

Kevin Mosley was recently appointed Legacy’s fourth Head of School. He has faithfully served the Legacy community for more than a decade, and when Head of School Bill McGee decided it was time to step down, Mr. Mosley was a natural successor.

Kevin and Cheri, his wife of 25 years, met at a church in Fort Worth, where he was a youth pastor. The couple now has two sons, Andrew (’18) and Jonathan (’20), and Cheri is LCA’s Senior Director of Enrollment Management.

Mr. Mosley is a graduate of the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!), where he majored in computer engineering. When he’s not wearing green and gold supporting the Eagles, chances are you’ll find Mr. Mosley sporting a crimson Alabama shirt. He’s a talented musician — piano and percussion instruments — and was part of the Million Dollar Band at Alabama.

He served in ministry for several years before he began his career in education. He earned his master’s degree in education from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, in Fort Worth.

Mr. Mosley was the Upper School Principal for 10 years and last year became Assistant Head of School. His path to Head of School was clearly paved as he has consistently blessed LCA with joy, a servant’s heart, and exceptional leadership. Always relying on God’s timing, Mr. Mosley gratefully accepted the call to serve as Legacy’s new head. “I’ve learned so much under Bill McGee’s tutelage,” he says, “and I’ll forever be grateful for both his leadership and his legacy.”

Before he came to Legacy, Mr. Mosley was head of school at Russell Christian Academy, in Meridian, Mississippi. “Over my many years in education,” Mr. Mosley says, “I feel God has been preparing me for this role, as I’ve served in any capacity, both in the classroom and in administration.” He answered the call to come to Legacy, he says, for two reasons: “First of all, I wanted a Christian education of excellence for my two boys. Second, I wanted a place to continue growing as a Christian educator.”

Mr. Mosley believes in the LCA mission, which is to build strong leaders with biblical convictions. He has seen it embodied in his own sons, who, after graduating from LCA, are pursuing careers of their own. He encourages students at Legacy to pursue God-fearing and honoring lives.

Mr. Mosley is committed to strengthening the community after the challenges of the last couple of years, with the gospel at the center of all he does. He strives to cultivate the connections among LCA students, families, and the community as a whole, he says, “so we can continue to grow together.”
