LEAD Camp 2008 Brochure

The Leadership Education and development program is an educational program that teaches leadership life-skills by focusing on presonal leadership issues in the feshman and sophomore years moving towards organizational development in the junior and senior years. The material presented can be used immediately and practived continuously by our students. Leadership education is accomplished in the classroom through the LEAD curriculum, which is based on the work of Stephen Covey, John Maxwell, James Kouzes and Barry Posner, as well as many other recognized experts in the leadership field. We have also built a relationship with Junior Achievement to offer programs such as "personal finance" and "success skills."

The skill-set of a LEAD student includes self-discipline, self-awareness and self-motivation comvined with compassion, kindness and a genuine care for others. This unique skill-set gives the LEAD student the ability to lead people, manage projects, and be a viable and contributing member of a team. The many theories of leadership are taught in the classroom while the practical application of those theories is practiced through the development and implementation of our many projects.
