Summary
Students from West Clermont Middle School presented the Lighthouse leadership team's activities — including student-led lessons, pep rallies and the traveling trophy — and outlined a goal to have 100 students lead Leader in Me advisory lessons; the board praised the presentation.
Students from West Clermont Middle School presented their Student Lighthouse leadership program to the board on April 6, 2026, describing initiatives that promote student voice and school culture.
Levi Chapman (S5) introduced the team and said the group's purpose is to give students opportunities to lead, including teaching advisory lessons. "We try and have all the kids on our team try and have at least one thing they want to implement," Levi said, explaining that student-led lessons and peer teaching are central to the program.
Other students described activities the team runs: leading Leader in Me lessons, organizing pep rallies and spirit weeks, administering a traveling trophy to reward classroom attendance, and running community projects. One student summarized a goal: to have 100 students lead a Leader in Me advisory lesson by the second semester.
The board thanked the students and their advisory teacher, Miss Crabill (referenced), for the presentation; the chair and board members praised the students' adaptability when the presentation experienced technical difficulties. The board encouraged continued student involvement and noted the presentation as an example of building leadership in the district.
