One of the new classes we added to our curriculum at CHS this year is 'Leadership for Life' -- a course designed for any student interested in being a leader in any realm. Mrs. Mitchell-Payne uses a variety of strategies and activities to teach the students about leadership. Recently, each of the students had to pick a famous leader and generate interview questions and answers for that leader (revealing WHY this person would be a leader). Then, they dressed AS THEIR LEADER during the interviews, which took place during class. Some of the famous leaders they chose (just to name a few...):
 |
| Eva Peron (on left) |
- John F. Kennedy
- Rosa Parks
- Eva Peron
- Jacquelin Onassis Kennedy
- Oprah Winfrey

Instead of just learning about individual leaders, students actually experienced those leaders. They did a great job! Below is a video clip of one of the interviews:
