The National Leadership Conference, held in Atlanta, Georgia was an amazing experience for all the members who attended. With 31 competitors, our school was the largest group of students from New Jersey, as well as the largest group of FHS students ever. Although none of our members placed in their events this year, qualifying for Nationals itself is a huge accomplishment which should be commended.

Competition was only a small part of what the NLC had to offer. Networking opportunities abounded, and our students made good use of them, making new friends during the week. In addition, students had a great time touring the sights of one of America’s largest cities and making memories all the while. No one will forget the experience they had in Atlanta, and hopefully even more people from FHS can attend Nationals next year in Anaheim, California!
