She also is the senior class co-advisor. Outside of Legacy, Mrs. Wallace enjoys being very active in both indoor and outdoors sports as well as enjoying all that Colorado has to offer (very fitting for a Colorado native). She loves spending time with her family and friends, walking her dogs, and spending time with her husband and two girls.

     Mrs. Batchelder (Miss Katy) is excited to join the Legacy High School community this year! She is passionate about supporting students and thrilled to be back in a comprehensive high school, working with 9th–12th graders.

Before Legacy, she worked at Pathways Future Center School, where she helped young adults finish high school and explore post-secondary paths that aligned with their values, interests, goals, and strengths. Since 2009 she has worked in a charter school, large comprehensive schools, and alternative education. 

Outside of school, Katy stays busy with her husband and their three amazing kids, whose energy and activities keep life fun and full. When time permits, traveling and spending time outdoors brings her the most happiness! 

She holds a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences from San Diego State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Chapman University.
