Kingswood Leadership

Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs and organizations to help me become a leader in my community. At Auburn High School I took on the role of being a Publicist officer for National Technical Honors Society the first two consecutive years that it became a part of our school. I gained a lot of leadership experience through this club. Implementing a new organization is never easy and takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the leaders of the club. By being a part of a very helpful, dedicated and motivated team, we helped affiliate all the eligible members into the club and in turn helped introduce this new club to the school. As publicist my role in helping the club grow was crucial; I helped in publicizing the clubs various projects and involvement.

I am currently a Peer Academic Leader for Grogan Residential College. I decided to become a PAL because I wanted to help first-year students transitioning from high school to college. This experience has been very rewarding because I feel that I have made an impact the lives of my fellow Spartans. I wanted to make sure that I could help first-years receive guidance and support whether it be academically or socially. I am also going to be a Resident Advisor next year and I am very excited to impact the lives of more first-year students! I am a firm believer in being the change we wish to see in the world, and I plan on helping my student community in order to see that change occur.

I have been involved with in our school and our community. In our school I was nominated for head of Prom committee this year. This position is quite stressful but I would not have it any other way. I enjoy being able to help and put my mark on it for our school. I brainstorm for fundraisers, activities, and small jobs our class can do to raise money. I also get to choose our revenue, theme for prom, and decorations. I do all of this within out tight budget. I

The President of the Student Council. The drum major of the marching band. The founder of the biggest club at school. All of these positions involve organizing, interacting with, and motivating a large amount of people and just scream “LEADERSHIP!” However, this wasn’t the right kind of leadership for me; I’m not the type to get up and speak in front of a big group of people or give grandiose motivational speeches, but I still wanted to be helpful to others nonetheless.

Who school leaders are – what they do, attend to, or seem to appreciate is constantly watched by students, teachers, parents, and members of the community. Their interests and actions send powerful messages. They signal the values they hold. Above all else, leaders are cultural “teachers” in the best sense of the word. (Deal & Peterson, 1990, p. 201)

My community leadership has been based in and around my school. My leadership ranges from teaching a cosmetology course at my school to planning events. It has helped me manage my time, allow to learn how to research efficiently and has taught me how to better communicate with those around me. I have met new and exciting people and have been given opportunities i wouldn't have received had I not gone to the school i am at.

I was the activities director and as activities director, I executed and supervised extracurricular activities, programs, and field trips. I created and designed promotional materials for all activities, wrote and published school newsletters, and managed social media content. Being an adolescent in this position, gave me a better insight on what the students desired and I, in turn, gave the students a greater experience in that area. I will take that drive, determination, and experience, and everything I learned from it and apply it to my schoolwork and my overall college

It is evident that Schulich Leaders are individuals who possess the ability to leave an impressionable impact on their school and beyond. Throughout my educational pathway, I have consistently dedicated my time and effort for the greater good of my fellow students, staff, and community members. I have always been naturally inclined to lead individuals, as it gives me the opportunity to express and develop my capabilities as an exemplary role model. Particularly, I demonstrate these characteristics through a variety of extracurricular activities and clubs, where my tendency to propose, carry out, and offer insight on the issues at hand never goes unnoticed. Due to the fact that I am a diligent and thoughtful individual who never rests until my endeavours materialize lends to the notion that I will undoubtedly make an outstanding Schulich Leader.

My role as president of my high school’s National Honor Society also allowed to demonstrate my worth as a leader. I was in charge of the overall organization of the club, finding more volunteering opportunities

I led my group in meetings, activities, and I helped any of the members of the group if they needed it. Last year during track season, I helped the throwing coach teach new throwers and refresh experienced throwers. Many of my peers looked to me as leader to help them learn how to do the best they

For instance, whenever we receive a group project in class, I step forward and parcel out roles to my peers and organize the project to ensure it will run smoothly. Also, I joined the newly formed Engineering Club and was elected Historian by my fellow members. As historian, I document our meetings and events and upload pictures to our Facebook page to keep a record of our work. This responsibility falls solely on me, and I have demonstrated leadership by organizing club photos and allowing for proper documentation. Overall, Kinnick High School is a place where my leadership abilities

I am a leader in several areas at Delbarton. My favorite leadership role is being one of seven campus ministers at my school. The role of a campus minister revolves around the religious foundations of the school, such as retreats and community service. I

Furthermore, prior work experience and involvement as a student-leader has helped me develop interpersonal and organizational skills, both of which are critical in project collaboration and professional settings. For example, I serve as Hedrick Residential Hall Treasurer where I track budgets, cooperate with other members in the student body government to fund events, and present bi-weekly updates. This has helped me successfully serve as a member of a team as well as work with diverse groups of people.

Outstanding student leadership is something that requires hard work, discipline, and the right students. For a student leadership team to work, the students chosen for the position need to be willing to sacrifice their time and energy for the students under their control. Student leaders must also be willing to get along with other leaders - they don’t need to agree on everything, but being able to work things out is a key requirement for an outstanding student leadership team.

Student leaders come in all shapes and sizes. They choose to lead based on their skills and preferences. Whether in social groups, athletics, or within the classroom, student leaders demonstrate certain traits that benefit both themselves and those they are leading. Generally speaking, leaders are classified as role models within the student body. They are the students who challenge the status quo, who ask questions and demand answers. They inspire athletic teams and social organizations alike; they bring to light the issues that an organization or club faces and work toward a solution. The traits and skills that these leaders exhibit socially, athletically, and academically can be both inherit and learned. The
