NEW COURSE FOR NEXT YR
Clements will be opening up a leadership course this upcoming 20142015 school year. It is available for any student who is interested in leadership or who holds an officer/leadership position within their respective club/organization/sport. Our goal for this non-weighted class is to provide opportunities to study, practice, and develop group and individual leadership and organizational skills. These skills include: decision-making skills, problem-solving techniques, communication skills, leadership roles, human relation skills and understanding the need for civic responsibility. Students that are enrolled in this course will apply these skills in dealing with their peers, school administration, as well as the community. As aforementioned, this class is available to all current/potential officers and leaders of any other Clements clubs/sports. It is our hope that your club/sport officers and leaders will be a part of an environment of like-minded individuals who strive for success.
