🎉 The journey. The growth. The leaders of tomorrow. 💫 #LeadershipShawneeMission 2025 is a wrap! These students inspired, led, and grew in big ways. Huge thanks to the Fab 4 from Better Humans LLC — simply the best! 🙌

Today is all about sharpening all those professional skills! Thanks to our @theSMSD colleagues for interviewing the #LeadershipShawneeMission students.

Crushing our day at Timber Ridge! Love having @mc_lewis2 from @MillCreek512 as one of our facilitators!#LeadershipShawneeMission

Mentors met with students through #LeadershipShawneeMission—sharing stories, building connections, and inspiring future leaders. Because when students see what’s possible, they believe they can do it, too! #RealWorldLearning

Day 2 of #LeadershipShawneeMission was an interesting one—it included a little team bonding in the tornado shelter at @AvilaUniversity! All our student participants, staff and facilitators are safe!

Yesterday kicked off our first day with the 2025 class of #LeadershipShawneeMission! These 28 students from around @theSMSD will spend the next two weeks learning and growing together!

We’re ALL IN for love, diversity, and inclusion. Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈
