A note from Mrs. Sanders - PLEASE READ

Dear Parents and Students,

First, I want to apologize that my email has bounced for the past few days. Major Google issues, but luckily all is back to normal now. If you did email me and the email bounced, please resend to me as I was unable to recover any of those emails.

In addition, I am excited to announce some really awesome changes to the Leadership Johns Creek program. We will be expanding Student Leadership Johns Creek beginning with the class of 2025. Currently we admit about 20% of those students who apply from the Johns Creek schools - as we enter our 10th year we recognized we have such a unique program that we want to expand, in fact double it. As Fulton County School Board Member Linda McCain will be retiring after 12 years with the school board in December. It seemed like a perfect fit to have her join our Student Leadership family to assist with this new endeavor. We welcome Linda McCain to Leadership Johns Creek and are so excited that she is now part of our LJC/SLJC family!

Lastly, we will be launching a new Leadership Johns Creek program for the adults in our community - Leadership Launch. It will be a 3-day concentrated leadership journey including The Leadership Challenge with a leadership expert, LinkedIn training, exploring the leaders and leadership opportunities in Johns Creek including our city and the exciting prospect of a new town center, Emory Johns Creek Hospital and our fabulous schools. If any of our parents are interested in learning more please email me directly.
