challenging young men to make the most of their high school years

 

 

ThE program

 

The high school years pass quickly, and for many young people they pass without a full sense of direction or overall plan. High school should be the beginning of serious efforts to direct the course of one’s life as an adult – intellectually, professionally, spiritually. The purpose of this seminar is to help high school men put these ideas into action.

 

High School & Beyond was developed by Mr. James Stenson, former Headmaster of Northridge Preparatory School in Chicago, and noted author.  The program will be presented by Mr. Joseph Walker, Executive Director of Youth Achievement Foundation, Mr. Alex Hoff, English teacher, and Mr. J.L. Marti.
