Catherine and Bobby Vatalaro - Owners / Directors
Catherine grew up in Birmingham, Alabama with her three brothers and parents. She graduated from Auburn University with a major in Art Education. She followed her dream of teaching and settled in Americus, Georgia teaching middle school art. When there was free time in earlier years, Catherine enjoyed sewing, running, photography, and painting.
Bobby was also raised in Birmingham, Alabama and graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Finance. Since moving to Atlanta in 1982, he has worked in marketing and sales with Lithonia Lighting, Siemens,and BellSouth. Bobby's outside interests include running, softball, and flying airplanes.
In 1996, Bobby and Catherine's identical twin daughters were born. When they were three years old, they were enrolled at the Legacy Academy in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Bobby and Catherine were so impressed with the facility, the curriculum, and the outstanding teachers that Bobby began considering a career change. After much research, planning, and hard work, they opened their Legacy Academy school in the Shakerag area in November 2004.
