The Center for Leadership Teaches Educators Across the Country

Student Leadership at St. Luke’s

One of the highlights of my job is teaching students the skills to become exceptional leaders. Effective communication, creative problem solving, skillful collaboration, and deep listening all guide students toward authentic and empathetic leadership. At St. Luke’s Center for Leadership, we start building these foundational skills in fifth grade. Through various grade-appropriate experiences such as service, speakers series, advisories, and Community Goals for Learning, our students grow confidence in their ability to lead.

The goal is not just to prepare students academically but to send them into college and career with an equity mindset, kindness, and service orientation. We want to prepare them to strive for the answer to, “How can I make this better?”
