From the Desk of Dr. Ward:

Juniors Malik Alley, Gabe Lucio, Grant Hanks, Avery Langemeier, Hope Cooper, Lindsay Wheeler, Mimi Jackson, and Haleigh Smith attended the UT Tyler “Emerging Leaders Conference” on Thursday, October 24. They were nominated by both teachers and administrators to attend as Brook Hill representatives.

The conference defined leadership as “intentional influence” and challenged students to help their schools become communities of integrity. The conference concluded with students identifying opportunities for them to encourage respect on their campuses, followed by making plans for how to affect change.

Dr. Ward served as the Brook Hill sponsor for the 16-school event, and he was also the keynote speaker.
