Scheck Hillel High School students are known for being academically inclined and very driven to achieve their fullest potential during school hours. What about after school hours? What do most of them do during their leisure time when not enclosed in school boundaries?

Many high school students participate in the Solomon Leadership Program. The Solomon Leadership Program is a program that instills the Eight Pillars of Moral Character and Leadership in Jewish students all over the nation through a comprehensive six-month high school program. According to their website: “The rigorous program uses a three-pronged approach: individual mentor guidance from community leaders, an in-depth curated curriculum, and renowned guest speakers.” This program is offered to Jewish juniors and seniors in high schools nationwide.

Students taking the initiative to reinforce leadership skills outside of school demonstrates the true fuel and pride students possess to achieve a better version of themselves. When asked why she joined Solomon, 12th Grader Rachel Tulman said, “I enrolled in the Leadership Program with a willing desire to acquire the art of effective leadership, aspiring to harness these skills as a guiding pathway for my future role as a leader.”

If you will be a junior or senior in the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year and wish to join the program, visit solomonprogram.org, for more information.
