If you are passionate about making a difference within this class, your school, and the extended community, then this course is for you! Leadership focuses on topics such as; qualities and roles of leaders, communication skills, conflict resolution, team dynamics, team building and stress management. As a student in Leadership, you will learn about yourself, what you are capable of and what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it. You will ultimately grow as a team player, a creative thinker, an effective communicator, and a capable citizen. As a part of this course, students gain experience planning events within the school and volunteering within the greater community.
Examples of events have been:

Best Buddies firmly believe that friendship is important in the development of all people and that for people with intellectual disabilities, friendship is a medium through which they can become members of the community. As part of our CLS and CLS/BLA program, we partner volunteer students with CLS and CLS/BLA students to read together and help each out by being good friends!
