Students Attend Leadership Conference


Three students from OHS recently attended Troy University’s Freshman Forum Leadership Conference. The Freshman Forum believes that when students come together and share ideas and ambitions, the possibilities are endless. The goal of this conference is to enhance the leadership abilities of high school students.

The conference offered workshops on leadership, parliamentary procedure, as well as fun games and exercises. After encouraging words from Troy University President, Dr. Jack Hawkins, the students enjoyed a special leadership presentation showcasing some of the most outstanding leaders on the Troy campus.

The three seniors from Oxford attending included: Jessi Baldwin, Melissa Lovvorn, and Alison Norby. These students enjoyed learning the true meaning of leadership, how to conduct a meeting, and getting to know other students from around the state. These three active leaders at OHS plan to further their education at UAB, The University of Alabama, and Auburn University. All three plan to major in Education.
