The Leadership class hosted a cocoa and conversations with well known famous leaders. Each student chose someone they believed depicted commendable leadership qualities. The class then hosted a party where students played the role of their leader, discussing their life and accomplishments with the other famous leaders. It was a creative and engaging way for students to think about leadership styles and qualities.

We ask everyone to kindly set aside the date of our first semester banquet - Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 6pm at Wayne Tree Manor. Once results are announced, the RSVP turn around time is quick - so try to get an idea if you might be able to attend.

Semester 1 Results:

Champions kindly asks everyone to remember that we do not receive access to their grades in MiStar until the same time asthe students. We encourage people to refrain from emailing us about if they have met their goal or not, as responding takes additional time away from focusing on the results. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Semester 2 Goals:

As we await the first semester results, it is not too early to start thinking about goals for the new semester. Attached you will find the second semester goal sheet (for first semester participants) as well as the full contract for anyone looking to join Champions this semester. We will have hard copies in our office as well.
