The College for Real Careers
Alabama Lions High
School Leadership Forum
Seniors Channy Blackwell, Will Dowe, Sami Nesbitt and
Mason Wray represented Macon East Academy this summer
as delegates at the 7th Annual Alabama Lions High School
Leadership Forum. The ALHSLF is a three day leadership
forum for high school students from Alabama and is held
at Troy University in Troy, AL. Included in the program are
keynote speakers on leadership topics, hands on leadership
exercises lead by college leadership students, physical
challenges at Camp Butter & Egg, team building skills at the
Dogpatch Olympics, group skits, fun, fellowship and great
food. Mary Kaylin Veach and Liz Dowe Filmore, both Macon
East alumni, served as group leaders, as well as JV Baseball
Coach Chase Barber. Three days of intense leadership
training was something that both the delegates and group
leaders will not soon forget. They are all encouraged to return
to their communities as advocates for positive change and
service through understanding and action based on effective,
ethical and compassionate leadership.
