WBECHS' Extraordinary Gentlemen Club is young men who are willing to become the leaders of the WBECHS and community. This is an excellent opportunity to learn the skills necessary to make a positive change within their community.
The club meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During these meetings, we will review progress in school, learn the skills needed to be a gentleman and leader, and meet leaders in our community. In addition to weekly meetings, students will go on field trips which will expose them to new opportunities, interact with community members, and refine both their communication and leadership skills. In addition, they will complete a service-learning project that allows them to give back to the community.
I am confident that your young man will benefit from the program. If you are interested in this program, please contact us at 466-2700.
