FACES OF SPS
“Seeing the impact of what I could do not just on the Leadership School, but on the community, is really important to me."
Logan Rathbun
Senior
Parkview High School
“Parkview’s Leadership School has helped me with my presenting skills. I was extremely nervous in the past, but I’ve gotten more confident in my voice and more confident in the content, and that’s all the Leadership School. With my Capstone project, I was able to raise $3,500 for Parkinson’s Group of the Ozarks. Seeing the impact of what I could do not just on the Leadership School but on the community is really important to me. I’m headed to Mizzou to study business, and I know I’m ready. A lot of that is because of the Leadership School.”
