Mission
The Super Leaders program identifies and trains a team of students in selected schools to resist the negative pressures of their home, school and neighborhood environments. Super Leaders develops these students to be positive role models and peer leaders in the effort to prevent substance abuse, violence, teen pregnancy, AIDS, academic failure and other problems effecting their peers and younger children. The program also focuses on life skills and physical fitness initiatives. Overall, the program prepares our students with the learning tools to succeed in a changing society. The Super Leaders Organization Believes That:

• Excellence is achievable and always worth the investment.
• The most effective learning environment is one in which staff and students are actively engaged and have ultimate respect for each other.
• Students must be equipped with life-long learning tools to succeed in a changing society.
• Super Leaders have unique talents and perspectives that contribute to the value of our schools, and they have an impact on their peers, families, communities and each other.
• Leadership comes through time and service.
• Super Leaders must be determined and focused to keep their priorities in order.
• Super Leaders must face life with boldness and press for the highest value systems.
• Students can maintain physically fit and nutritionally sound bodies to compliment their well-conditioned and healthy minds.
• Through positive peer pressure – Super leaders become role models, influencing other students to act and communicate in a positive and constructive manner.
