Student Leadership
The Student Leadership magnet program in middle school offers a focus on building leadership skills. Students will participate in a leadership class in 8th grade and will have built a strong foundation on community, state, country and global leadership by the time they leave middle school. With high expectations of decorum, integrity and challenging academics, students will be prepared for endless possibilities. Skills learned in the Student Leadership middle school program will assist students when they transfer to high school.
The following are innovative aspects of this program:
- Leadership development through community service activities and participation in Student Council, Leadership Ambassadors and Athletics Mentoring Program
- Magnet cohort classes with real-world collaborative learning opportunities
- Eighth grade leadership elective course that earns high school credit
- Participation in the AVID program
