Honors Leadership Track

“The best part of the Lead for Tomorrow Academy is how every person within your class may have a different reason for taking this course and each teacher has a different experience or background. So your entire growing process is led by a variety of smiling faces who just want you to succeed. I went in wanting to make friends and learn more about myself and I can honestly say I got above and beyond. This class is different because it's not all about how many notes you can take or how well you do on an exam. This class is focused on growing as a leader.”

- Amelia Martin (Honors, Secondary Mathematics Education)
