Laurence Manning Academy Jrs

Fourteen Laurence Manning Academy Juniors have been nominated by Sandy Richardson, high school English and art teacher, to take part in the Lead America Conference this summer. These students demonstrate leadership in the areas of academics, community service and extracurricular activities. Attendees will have the chance to explore their future aspirations and discover what inspires them most. They will discover how to enhance the essential leadership skills they possess and learn how to apply those skills toward their future. Attendees may earn up to two college credits. Attendance at the conference enhances the all important college application, as well. 

These conferences are college-accredited and held throughout the summer at universities across the country. Students may choose from campuses including Stanford, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, Babson and other leading schools. Lead America Conferences are college immersion programs designed to better prepare students for the unique challenges of college life, both social and academic.  Financial assistance is available, and all information about the program will be sent to the students and their parents by Lead America.

The following LMA students will receive a Certificate of Recognition for their nomination: Meredith Coker, Nathan Downer, Caleb Dukes, Jack Martin, Ashley Meares, Andrew Miles, Zachery Morris, Robbie Outz, Nikhar Patel, Parker Reynolds, Tiffany Rogers, Tessa Sanford, Nicole Sousa and Makayla Swygert.
