Agnes Knox, the visionary behind Legacy Learning & Empowerment LLC, leads a dynamic coaching and educational consulting firm committed to equipping students, parents, and educators with tools for success both in and beyond the classroom. Her personal mission is to empower individuals to embrace their true selves through meaningful engagement.

With a rich background as a former high school math teacher, Agnes passionately advocates for equitable education and the holistic development of every child. Her innovative approach, emphasizing the importance of students having a supportive village, contributed to her recognition as the 2019 Teacher of the Year for Ridge View High School and a top 5 District Honor Roll Teacher in Richland School District 2.

Facing challenges assisting students outside the classroom, Agnes embarked on a quest for tools and resources.
