THE
LEADERSHIP CENTER Leadership is embedded in Latin’s DNA. The Leadership Center will create a dynamic “hub” where students learn and exercise leadership skills through our Latin Leads with Honor program, a cutting-edge curriculum that ignites students’ minds, fosters their creative thinking and brings them together in community.
I
magine, if you will, an inspirational space in the heart of our campus. A space which exudes “welcome” — that cultivates collaboration, unleashes imagination, deepens connections and fosters discovery. A place that not only allows collaborative work, but invites it. Where thoughts collide and ideas thrive. There is such a place coming to Latin: The Leadership Center.
“
The new Leadership Center will revolutionize the way collaboration happens at Latin. A space where new ideas can flourish with the help of teachers and mentors will bring so much creativity and positivity to our School.” — William Lloyd ’19
Planned for the final phase of the Vision2020 capital campaign, The Leadership Center will take the place of the existing 100/200 Building (currently housing Upper School History and World Languages). The space will be completely transformed, opening its doors (and walls) to synergy, collaborative learning and countless possibilities. This “hub” for all grade levels will become the epicenter of campus and a place that connects tradition with vision. Goals of The Leadership Center: • Align the Latin Leads with Honor program with transformative programming in Grades 2–12. • Host civil discourse training that promotes thoughtful and engaging dialogue.
FEATURES: Classroom space A Leadership café
• Enable the Student-Athlete Leadership Team (SALT) to collaborate to create problem-solving skills for Varsity sports teams.
Flexible, adjustable desks and chairs
• Develop curriculum for Hawks LEAD (Leadership Explorers and Developers), an Upper School/Grade 3 mentorship program.
Tech bars, casual seating
Private study booths and group workspaces
Ample access to technology
• Host communication skills workshops and trainings to bolster more effective communication among students, faculty and staff. • Provide space for Service Learning groups so they can plan educational and engaging projects. • Create a home for programs such as Lamm Hawks Quest, Global Studies and Diversity and Inclusion, giving them a place to engage, plan, ignite and share. The Leadership Center will offer each student on campus an unprecedented, caring and flexible “collaboratory” — a space where everyday citizen leadership happens, and happens well.
