A Fond Farewell from Bill McGee

DEAR EAGLE NATION:

NOW ALL GLORY TO GOD, WHO IS ABLE, THROUGH HIS MIGHTY POWER AT WORK WITHIN US, TO ACCOMPLISH INFINITELY MORE THAN WE MIGHT ASK OR THINK.

(Ephesians 3:20, NLT)

In my final blog last May, I quoted this verse to summarize how I felt about my six-year tenure at Legacy. Throughout its 23-year history, God has been expanding His Kingdom through the ministry of Legacy Christian Academy. Thousands of students and families have benefited from an education that has prepared them to be “strong leaders with biblical convictions.” But only God knows the full impact of the school’s mission upon the students who are and will be His “agents of restoration.”

It has been my high honor and a privilege to have played a small part in His plan for Legacy, and to walk together as brothers and sisters in Christ to expand God’s Kingdom. I was blessed to be one of His lowly vessels. All glory belongs to Him!

Although I’m no longer on campus every day, I remain keenly interested in what’s happening at our school. Please know that I pray regularly for the faculty, administration, board, and families, many of whom I consider close friends.

Legacy’s impact on my life can’t be overstated. My heart is full of gratitude when I think about all the seasons we walked alongside one another. Six years ago we never could have foreseen the challenges (such as a global pandemic) we would have to overcome, but God has been faithful and blessed LCA abundantly.

A friend once said his vocational goal was “to leave the woodpile higher than I found it.” This homespun saying is another way to express the importance of stewardship, which Jesus described in the parable of the talents. I’m confident that the faithful servants who now lead Legacy will to add to the height of the woodpile. Please join me in praying that God will continue to bless this extraordinary school.

Faithfully yours,

Bill McGee Head of School (2016 - 2022)
