ACSI High School Leadership Conference

On Sunday, November 19th, twenty seven juniors and seniors headed to Washington DC with four of our teachers, Daniel Vasquez, Paul Jones, Laura Mills and Audra Williams for a 3-day Student Leadership Conference sponsored by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). 

Schools from all over the East Coast traveled to Washington, DC to hear from national speakers on a variety of current issues and worship collectively. During this conference, they spent time focused on bringing clarity to the biblical definition of identity, the purpose of relationships, and the path forward. The excursion this year was to Arlington National Cemetery where they witnessed the changing of the guards, had the opportunity to walk around the grounds and learn about the history of the cemetery. They worshiped, they were in fellowship and they were able to gain clarity around who they are in Christ.

Middle School Students Hone Leadership Skills at ACSI Philadelphia Conference

Eighteen students in grades 6-8 attended the ACSI Middle School Leadership Conference in Philadelphia on Wednesday, October 17. The conference, organized annually by the Association of Christian Schools International, focused on helping students see that their fallen state has led to brokenness, identifying their  leadership style, and realizing how more more can be accomplished by working together to see redemption take place through action. Students from 11 other Christian schools in the Greater Philadelphia area, who along with ACS are members of ACSI, participated in the conference.

ACS students listened to speakers, interacted in discussion groups with students from the other schools, and then worked collaboratively to develop ideas and plans to make a difference at ACS. “It was a full day and we are excited to see the kind of impact these emerging leaders in our middle school will be making on our student body moving forward,” said Upper School Principal Meg McHale, who attended the conference along with middle school faculty member Sara Coates and parent chaperone Polly Ellison.
