Tenth grade student Cameron Volkert listens with Assistant Principal Scott Gaddis as Intervention Specialist Sean Hukill makes a point about what it means to lead.
The annual Warrior Way Leadership Summit was held for the 9th year on Friday, November 14 at Westerville North High School. Nearly 200 students self-nominated or were nominated by teachers and staff in the building to attend the event. About half of the nominated students were chosen to attend if they had shown leadership qualities or if they have the potential to be a leader within their peer group.
Guest speaker Sandra Brogdon talked with students about being leaders in their everyday lives and finding small ways to make a difference in others’ lives. Brogdon is a creative activist and humanitarian journalist dedicated to creating positive social change in her community by building confidence in girls; and she is the founder and CEO of The Role Model Magazine.
Throughout the day, pupils also engaged in activities and discussions to help them discover their individual leadership style, identify key issues at North, and explore how they might use their personal leadership style to make an everyday difference in the North community.
The Warrior Way Leadership Team has been asked to show their leadership qualities at school and in the community. These students are committed to shaping the image of the Warrior Way to continue to respect themselves and others.
