White Hall High School Students Kick Off Chick-fil-A Leader AcademyTM 2024-2025 Programming
White Hall, Arkansas September 5, 2024 — During the 2024-2025 school year, Chick-fil-A Leader AcademyTM will be partnering with White Hall High School to provide curriculum opportunities that teach students important leadership skills to help make a difference in their community.
Thirty students were selected by Steven Lewis, Student Council Advisor, to participate in Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, a national high school leadership program empowering students to make an Impact Through Action.
Through a year-long curriculum, students learn timeless leadership principles like teamwork, communication and innovation by engaging in monthly “Leader Labs.” These principles are put into practice when the students plan and execute an Impact Project benefiting their local community, such as a fundraiser for a local homeless shelter or a can drive for a local food bank. The students don’t just learn about leadership in the classroom, they live it out by serving and making an impact.
“Through Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, we aspire to develop and empower the next generation of leaders to have a positive influence in their local communities,” said Brent Fielder, senior director of corporate social responsibility at Chick-fil-A, Inc. “The partnership between [school name] and [Chick-fil-A restaurant name] represents a shared commitment to fostering essential leadership skills in today’s students so they can ignite change and create lasting impact in the future.”
Since the inception of Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, over 228,450 students have participated, positively impacting over 3 million people in local communities across the country. The program is fully funded through generous sponsorships from local Chick-fil-A Owner-Operators, Chick-fil-A, Inc. and Coca-Cola.
