Through this program, students learn about important aspects that make a leader once or twice a month through the curriculum provided by Chick-fil-A. topics we will be covering throughout the rest of the year include, servant leadership, teamwork, innovation, communication, and impact. Students are partaking in different projects that serve to benefit our community in some way throughout the year.”

This is an annual Key Club event where multiple schools from all over the valley get together to attend seminars where students learn about new ideas to bring back to their own Key Clubs, participate in spirit competitions, yell a LOT, eat lots of good food, make new friends, and end the evening with a dance!”

At the fall rally, students will network, build positive relationships, and showcase their district’s spirit.
