Leadership Team
The Leadership Team requires a well-trained and committed group of young people serving as peer presenters - challenging teens to make healthy choices through skits, panel discussions and dramatic performances. By sharing their personal choices and experiences, they encourage their peers to join the growing movement to avoid risky behaviors. This amazing group of young people is often requested to conduct assemblies, retreats and youth conferences!

Leadership Team Gives Back
The leadership team gave back to the Conway community by creating and donating care packages for the Conway ministry center. (Dec.19)
Leadership Team Retreat
At the close of each summer, veteran and oncoming members of the Leadership team spend time together during a weekend-long retreat that allows the students to be trained to present to their peers, bond with one another, and be formally inducted or re-inducted to the team. They participate in multiple activities with an emphasis on trust, selflessness, recognizing individual value, articulating expectations, and more. The retreat is one of the most anticipated events of the team!!!

Student Highlight!
Meet Lillian Goins, a 10th grader at CHS and newer member of the Choosing to Excel Leadership Team. Lillian recently pursued some educational endeavors through her high school and “EXCELLED”! She is a part of “Congress”, a 3-day Arkansas Communication and Theatre Arts Association event under Debate. Students from all over Arkansas traveled to the Arkansas Capitol to portray Congress by preparing, debating, passing, and failing legislative bills. There were four major categories for the mass to place in by averaging their activity score out of 5 in the following key areas: Caucus, Committee, Floor Debate, and Parliamentary Procedure. Lillian received a score of “EXCELLENT” in Floor Debate, which is an average of 4 and a score of “SUPERIOR” in Committee which is a 5!! Way to be a leader and a positive example, Lillian!!!
