Leadership Forum examines issues Project Outreach, a statewide student eadership program, examined a variety if issues and made several recommenda-ions in the 1983-84 school year. This ears program was held at the Mont-alm Area Career Center in October nd some 200 students from seven school iistricts attended the forum. The purpose of the leadership forum was to find out how students feel about their school and education they are receiving. Discussion groups with resource people during the day long forum were one of the ways area educators are able to find out about student attitudes and concerns. Lisa Coats and Beth Hoy served on a 14 member students’ representative committee to arrange the program. The 200 students concluded two major issues of concern were substance abuse and graduation requirements. In light of the national push for excellence in education, participants discussed competency tests, longer school day, increasing graduation requirements and similar concepts. Other avenues of student leadership were evident throughout the 1983-84 school year. Community recognition and interaction existed with many programs involving students being brought to the attention of local citizens. Various student groups and organizations had the opportunity to show off talents and skills at performances in the first Community Dinner held at the Middle School in the spring. This year programs such as Project Outreach and the Community Dinner helped Greenville High School demonstrate that we had “Made the Grade”, a theme shared with the Community Dinner program.

BELOW: Community concern and involvement was evidence by the number of GHS students who donated blood during a local blood drive. 17
