Hopkins High School Receives Scholarship for Summer Leadership Camp

Hopkins, Mich.

The SET SEG Educational Foundation recently awarded Hopkins High School a scholarship that will provide funding for students to attend the Michigan Association of Student Councils and Honor Societies (MASC/MAHS) Summer Leadership Camp. The school received $1,250 and plans to send four students to the camp at Albion College. Hopkins High School will receive its award from the Foundation at a special presentation made at the high school on May 29 at 2:30 p.m. “We believe that educating and fostering emerging leaders is the key to Michigan’s future success,” said Foundation Executive Director Chuck Miller. “This year, the Foundation is awarding $22,000 in scholarships to 18 high schools for Summer Leadership Camp--the most we have provided since we began the scholarship program six years ago.” The MASC/MAHS Leadership Camp, which will take place July 22-27, teaches students leadership principles that will benefit their schools and communities. While at camp, students serve on committees and in councils gaining hands-on experience and lifelong skills. Leadership Camp sessions address communication, organizational skills, public speaking, team building, leadership styles and project planning and provide an environment for students to interact with their peers from school districts throughout Michigan. Scholarship recipients were selected from a competitive field of applicants and required input from a high school principal and a Student Council or Honor Society adviser.

Its mission is to enable students to pursue enrichment opportunities that advance learning, leadership and civic responsibility.
