PCA Students Attend National Leadership Institute
Rising Prattville Christian Academy juniors Lydia Brackins, Kendyl Crooks, Jackson Graham, Jonathan Johnson, Ethan Jones, and Mary Grace Story represented the school at the Presidential Leadership Institute in York, Nebraska during the summer.
The Presidential Leadership Institute (PLI) is a leadership development program among Christian high schools, specifically designed for high achieving students in grades 10-12. The weeklong program is dedicated to leadership development and character building through interactive programs, discussions and leadership industry expert speakers.
“PLI is an amazing program that taught our students how to become a servant leader in the school and community,” said Julie Warlick, PCA’s student affairs director. “I believe this experience has given them tools they can use now and in the future to listen, communicate, work together, and build strong relationships with others.”
The students returned from their experience energized to become change agents at PCA and within the community. “Every aspect of PLI was incredible,” said Jackson Graham, PCA student. “The students and staff were so welcoming, including Steve Eckman, York College president. I made many new friends from all over the country and learned what true leadership is.”
