Callahan County to launch Future Leaders Program for high school seniors
Summary
County officials announced a 12-student Callahan County Future Leaders Program to introduce seniors to county government in a six-session series beginning next week.
Callahan County Judge (unnamed) announced Sept. 8 that the county will launch the Callahan County Future Leaders Program next Wednesday, a six-session series for high school seniors to learn about county government. The program will enroll 12 students — three from each high school — selected by their school administrations.
County leaders said the program is intended to give seniors a hands-on overview of elected officials’ duties, county services and operations so participants can take that knowledge back to their classmates. “What it is is, an opportunity for high school seniors to learn about county government,” the judge said.
The judge said the program will meet six times over the school year; after the first meeting officials will schedule the remaining dates. No formal action or budget allocation was recorded at the Sept. 8 meeting. The announcement indicated the students will attend a future commissioners court meeting during the year.
County officials did not provide funding details or list the participating high schools at the meeting.
