Leland Mallett, Adviser
After accidentally taking newspaper in junior high, Leland Mallett has always loved the art of telling stories. Leland has been the publications adviser at Legacy since the school opened in 2007. Since then, Legacy’s publication students have won numerous state and national awards for the online student newspaper and yearbook. His new passion is convergent journalism and finding new ways for students to tell a great story. Leland has also served on the Texas Association of Journalism Educators’ board and was honored with the Texas’ Edith Fox King Award, Legacy’s Teacher of the Year in 2010 and the Max R. Haddick Adviser of the Year for Texas in 2015. But really, he’s just going through life trying not to look like a moron.
