Senior Lauren Henry took full advantage of the opportunities she encountered. “A total of 30 students from five different schools selected from across the United States attended. Together, we listened to speakers and presentations about growing leadership skills with a Christian influence,” she said. “I gained immense knowledge and insight about not only leadership, but also cooperation with others, how to improve public speaking skills, and how to be a better Christian.” ABOVE: Howard Todd, Aly Nguyen, Keeley Nguyen, Lauren Henry, Mary Eisenhower (President Eisenhower’s grandaughter), Lindsey McDaniel, Justin Fausnight and Cade Horn.
