Dr. Nickerson has been privileged to learn, teach, and lead in Christian school environments throughout his life where the central importance of a thoroughly Christ-permeated faculty, community, and curriculum was recognized as essential. After being homeschooled through most of his elementary and middle school years, Dr. Nickerson graduated from a Christian high school in South Carolina. A highlight of his high school experience was spending a year abroad in mainland China as an exchange student. Following high school, he earned two degrees at Cedarville University: a Bachelor of Science in biology and a Master of Education with a concentration in educational administration. Dr. Nickerson later earned a PhD in organizational leadership at Columbia International University where his research focused on the academic influence of secondary Christian school athletic coaches.
Professionally, Dr. Nickerson served as a secondary math and science teacher early in his career before shifting to school leadership roles. However, he considers himself a teacher at heart, and it is his prayer that the Holy Spirit uses each student's experience at Legacy to draw closer in their relationship to God. Dr. Nickerson takes joy in partnering with Christian families to educate students in a Christian worldview so that students develop in godly character and wisdom and are prepared to lead change in their world.
The Lord has given Dr. Nickerson and his wife, Allison, two sons: Micah (LCA class of '26) and Judah (LCA class of '27).
Psalm 34:3 "Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!"

Mrs. Miller and her husband, Steve, have been blessed with two daughters who graduated from Xenia Christian / Legacy Christian Academy. One is at home with Jesus; and the other is a sophomore Honors student playing collegiate golf at Milligan University.
Her penchant for details and desire for excellence serve her well in her current role at LCA.

Mrs. Moser has a love of athletics and values the platform that athletics has in shaping young men and women to be fearless followers of Christ. High school athletics teaches young people to be disciplined, to work well with others, and to learn to act for the good of the team. It serves as a huge tool in preparing students for the next level in their lives.
