RHS Students At WU Leadership Institute

RHS STUDENTS ATTEND WASHBURN LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE

The Leadership Challenge Event™ (LCE™) is hosted annually by the Washburn University Leadership Institute and was held on Mar. 2-3. It is a unique inter-scholastic and inter-collegiate leadership competition which enables high school and college students an opportunity to participate in an organized competition that simulates real-life experiences. Students address a variety of problems and situations where the outcome of the simulation is dependent on the leadership decisions made throughout the course of the competition. Student teams must fulfill the challenges and overcome the obstacles placed before them in a manner that demonstrates exemplary leadership knowledge and execution. This year’s scenario required students to address a food borne illness associated with the annual Honey Daze celebration in the fictitious town of Metropolis that threatened the towns tradition and their livelihood.

Pictured are this year’s Rossville High School LCE™ participants: 

RHS Counselor Beth Shepard, Abigail McCrory, Breaira Bergstresser, 

Ashley Zemek, Emily Woodcock, and Ariel Sherer.
