On Friday, November 7, our future educators took a field trip to Illinois State University for the New Teacher Conference. This inspiring experience is designed for high school students exploring a career in education.
Students learned what the path to becoming a teacher looks like, gained insight into life after graduation, and heard firsthand what to expect when stepping into their own classrooms one day. Thank you, ISU! We’re proud of our LeRoy Panthers who are already taking steps toward shaping the next generation!

Our student leaders had an incredible day at the 2025 IHSA Student Leadership Conference in East Peoria yesterday! Hosted by the IHSA Student Advisory Committee, students from freshmen to juniors participated in dynamic breakout sessions and heard from inspiring guest speakers Omari Pearson and Brittany Richmond.

Omari Pearson is a former basketball player, now a mentor and speaker, helping students set goals and succeed. Brittany Richmond is a teen mental health expert, sharing tips on handling pressure, anxiety, and leadership challenges.

Our student leaders left the conference motivated, empowered, and ready to make an impact in their school and community. Special shoutout to our very own Annie Conn for representing our school on the IHSA Student Advisory Committee Team!
