Leadership Development
Leadership Education is taught each week. The material covers both an academic study of leadership (LE) as well as a practical application of leadership. Each year the academic material rotates just as the Aerospace Science material does. Students will have the ability to demonstrate the qualities of self discipline, integrity, excellence, attention to detail and team work. These skills are tested during their academic studies and hands on activities such as their uniform inspections each Wednesday.
