| | FUTURE LEADERS IN ACTION! | | |
North Allegheny Student Council members recently took part in an interactive leadership workshop hosted by Pine-Richland High School, focusing on FranklinCovey’s renowned framework, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.
The event was made possible through a partnership with FranklinCovey and the Allegheny Intermediate Unit’s Center for Systems Innovation and Leadership Development. Throughout the day, NA students engaged in hands-on activities designed to equip them with practical tools for personal and professional growth. Key focus areas included building self-confidence, setting meaningful goals, communicating effectively, and making responsible decisions.
Led by Student Council advisors Justin Karolski and Michelle Hunt, our student leaders enjoyed a productive day of skill-building and collaboration with peers from across the region. Opportunities like these highlight the value of our community partnerships where North Allegheny students can learn, explore, and grow into effective, thoughtful leaders.
