Upstate Eight Leadership Conference | |
RB hosted the 2025 Upstate Eight Leadership Conference! It was our pleasure to host all of the high schools in the Upstate Eight Conference to collaborate on important aspects of student and school leadership. Students participated in breakout sessions to discuss building culture and climate, school spirit ideas, and how to amplify student voices. Special thanks to our guest speaker, Eddie Slowikowski, for your powerful words and energetic dance moves! The success of this conference would not be possible without Mr. Mannon and Student Association, who planned and facilitated the conference; Culinary 1 students, who baked pastries for the attendees; and the Coffee and Tea Club, who provided the coffee and tea! | |
