Academy is designed for 7th grade students
and held in October. It is normally attended
by more than 75 students from area North
County middle schools. The goal is to offer
leadership skills and training to enable
students to become leaders in the school
communities. Facilitators from NCADA work
with the students. Schools select students
to participate based on those who are identified
as potential leaders. Follow-up sessions
are held in individual schools and for the
entire group throughout the year.

and held in November. More than 200 juniors

sources of influence, and how their own
values can affect their decisions.
