PCA Students Attend Presidential Leadership Conference
Rising Prattville Christian Academy (PCA) juniors Jenny Phillips, Graeson Scott and Alex Atchley represented the school at the Presidential Leadership Institute in York, Nebraska under the direction of PCA Guidance Counselor, Patricia Dean.
The Presidential Leadership Institute is a leadership development program among Christian high schools, specifically designed for high achieving students in 10-12 grades. The weeklong program is dedicated to leadership development and character building through interactive programs, discussions and leadership industry expert speakers.
More than 28 students from four different states attended the Institute, which was established after York College partnered with Strata Leadership, LLC. “Strata Leadership is the largest character based leadership company in the world,” York College President Steve Eckman said. “They have several training programs for character building and leadership. We became associated with them through the National Christian School Association, which is one of the sponsors of this program as well.”
The students returned from their experience energized to become agents for change at PCA and within our community. ” The Presidential Leadership Institute was a phenomenal experience and one that I was always remember,” said rising PCA junior Alex Atchley. “There were so many speakers who were leaders in their field and came from such a diverse background. It meant a lot to know they took their time to speak to a group of teenagers.”
