Do FCDS students have opportunities to develop leadership skills?
We have always encouraged our students to pursue leadership roles at FCDS. Whether it’s through elected student government (as President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, or Judicial Board representative to the SGA), a service club or special-interest club, as captain of an athletic team, or through student internships or various school-sponsored leadership programs, students have numerous opportunities to demonstrate and develop leadership skills. Beginning in the fall of 2005, we started work towards the development of a new leadership and life skills program.
