Under the direction of teachers John Davis, Jennifer Scheidt and Laura Andrews, the Leadership course is designed to teach students the skills to be successful leaders in their school, community or profession. Students learn team work, communication skills, conflict resolution, self-evaluation, finances, and Alpha Valley Leo club organization, in the classroom. Students participate in club meetings and volunteer for community service projects demonstrating their abilities to plan, organize, promote, and finance their projects to fruition. They also collaborate with the Sunrise Toastmasters club of Merced, to improve their public speaking abilities and be afforded the opportunity to compete in regional speech contests. They are the student body representatives voicing their opinions and concerns on behalf of their fellow students by attending meetings with school staff and administrators, as well as outside agencies. Students earn elective credits and can also receive a gold cord during graduation by earning a minimum of 25 community service hours. These students obtain a sense of pride in their school and club, as well as learn an appreciation of serving for the good of the community.
