The 2023-2024 Youth Leadership class celebrated graduation on May 8 with a luncheon at the Fort Stockton Chamber of Commerce. To graduate from the Leadership program, the students must attend at least seven monthly class meetings and perform community service throughout the school year. All students enrolled in the Youth Leadership program completed all requirements.

At the graduation celebration, each received an official Youth Leadership pin, certificate, and small gifts from the Youth Leadership program leaders Arna McCorkle and Letricia Slater. They enjoyed a delicious meal provided by Letricia Slater and Remie Ramos and topped it off with cake. We are very proud of the class and know they will all go far, becoming leaders and exemplary community-minded citizens!
