USHLI in the Oklahoma City
|
|
An estimated 350 Capitol City High School juniors and seniors, teachers and counselors attended our Student Leadership Series events held in the Oklahoma City. The purpose for our event was to encourage students to stay in school, improve their academic performance, graduate, and plan to pursue some kind of post-secondary education or training. The featured speaker was Ernesto Mejia.
 The event at Capitol City High was arranged by AFT Local 4574 of the American Federation of Classified Employees and part of our Student Leadership Series. USHLI is very grateful for the support of the AFT Local and the cooperation received from the Capitol City schools.
This was our 51st SLS event of 2012, bringing the total number of students, parents, and professionals served to 57,576 in 23 states. The next stops for the Student Leadership Series is El Paso, TX, and Tucson, AZ (12/10-15).
The primary goal of the Student Leadership Series is to ensure that every Latino family has a student that is one of the following: the 1st student to graduate high school; the 1st student to enroll in post-secondary education or training; the 1st student to graduate post-secondary education or training. The USHLI 2012 Student Leadership Series officially launched February 16th and consists of Stay-in-School Rallies for middle school and junior high students, Career & College Recruitment Fairs for high school students, Regional Leadership Summits for college students, and, if possible Parent Leadership Training and Professional Development events.
