In today's world, standing still means falling behind. In the tradition of North East excellence, the Leadership Development maximizes the ability of current and potential administrators and supervisors to lead into the future.
The department builds upon the successful Covey Leadership training the District has offered for the past ten years. Core classes provide supervisors and administrators with opportunities, knowledge, and skills to become great leaders who develop great teams and get great results.
