Legacy Traditional School in Maricopa was Gov. Doug Ducey’s first stop on his annual Back to School Tour.

The governor arrived at the campus on Tuesday morning and was guided around the campus by school administrators, including new Principal Amy Sundeen and LTS executive directors.

Students performed music for the governor and his staff, including “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “You’re a Grand Old Flag” and “Dance to the Music.”

The Maricopa campus of LTS was chosen for its “demonstrated academic excellence, exemplary teachers and school leadership.”

It is one of 12 Arizona schools in the Legacy charter organization.
