Connelly Senior selected for summer leadership program at UCLA

Senior Zoe Kam is one of 32 students selected from around the country to participate in the Economics for Leaders program at the University of California, Los Angeles, Aug. 8-15. Kam was selected for the for the program run by the Davis-based Foundation for Teaching Economics Los Angeles because she demonstrated excellent leadership potential.

During the weeklong Economics for Leaders workshop, students study economic reasoning principles and how to employ these concepts for successful and effective leadership. Students also focus on the impact their decisions have on others and the responsibility that awareness imposes. Economics for Leaders is "an unparalleled learning and growing opportunity," said Jim Klauder, Vice President of Public Affairs and Development for the Foundation for Teaching Economics. "Students who have attened Economics for Leaders programs in prior years have called it 'the experience of a lifetime.' "

"I teach at Connelly because this school empowers its students to become strong, confident thinkers in a joyous and happy learning environment. I have a special privilege to see God every day in the faces and actions of my students."
Michael Ambrose,
Math teacher

"I feel privileged to go to a school where I know everyone there cares about me and supports me. Connelly has helped me grow in my faith and build my confidence. I could not have picked a better school for high school."
Raynee, Class of 2013

"I had a pretty remarkable experience at Connelly. I think it was the catalyst for my university acceptance. I owe the rest of my life decisions and career choice to that experience at Connelly."
Sally Polk-Garcia '73
