CLARENDON HALL FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SUMMERTON, SC – On Monday October 21, 2019, members of Clarendon Hall’s Student Government Association (SGA) attended the South Carolina Independent Schools Association (SCISA) High School Leadership Program at Camp Bob Cooper on the beautiful shores of Lake Marion. The program provided opportunities for the students to develop as aspiring leaders.
Major William Downer, Education Director of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) was the keynote speaker. The group also heard inspirational words from Dr. Spencer Jordan, SCISA Executive Director, and Mr. Mike Fanning, SCISA Athletic Director. After these remarks, the students participated in engaging Team Building Activities on the Outdoor Team Challenge Course. Over ninety students from SCISA schools attended the event, including ten from Clarendon Hall.
“The SCISA High School Leadership Conference was such a valuable experience for our Student Government members as our SGA motto this year is ‘Go. Serve. Lead’,” stated Clarendon Hall Head of School Kelley Wannamaker. She continued, “These young leaders were able to put this motto into practice as they received very encouraging and motivating messages from Major Downer, Dr. Jordan, and Mr. Fanning. After the speeches, our students had the opportunity to practice using leadership soft skills as they participated in fun team building activities. It was a blessing for Clarendon Hall SGA to be able to attend.”
