Students from the Hillcrest High School Sophomore Leadership Program attended the 2023 Illinois High School Associations Student Leadership Conference. Students travelled to East Peoria and were actively engaged in both the keynote speaker's presentation and the Student Advisory Committee's breakout sessions on Leadership, Social Media Usage, and Time Management. Students reported having learned about different leadership types, ways to manage stress and their time, along with safe and effective usage of social media. Students definitely left the conference with new ideas and lessons that they could apply to their lives both inside and outside of school. #hillcresthawkpride
