The Student Leadership Conference is ONLY open to teams of participants from VaSCL High Schools.

If you are not sure whether or not your school division is a member of VaSCL, please check the Directory of VaSCL member divisions.

Each high school is permitted to register THREE to FIVE student participants..

If your school chooses to give a five-minute formal presentation during the Share Fair Assembly, your school will be allowed to register an ADDITIONAL TWO student participants (for a total of no more than SEVEN students on your school’s team).

As a benefit of membership in VaSCL, there is NO CHARGE for participation in the Student Leadership Conference.

However, registered high schools are required to give NOTICE of cancellation by THURSDAY, November 7, 2019, if they are not able to attend.

Registered high schools which do NOT give notice of cancellation at least one week in advance will be charged $200.

Each high school is required to have one Faculty Advisor.  Each school can also bring one additional Faculty Advisor (not required).

Schools have the option of choosing to give a five-minute formal presentation about some program, activity, or event at their school to an audience of 200 participants during the conference.  The presentation should focus on an innovative project or program at their school which students are particularly proud of and which they believe students from other schools would want to learn more about. 

Schools which commit to preparing a presentation will be required to submit their completed proposed presentation by Friday, October 25.  If more schools sign up to give Share Fair Presentations than we are able to accommodate, the twelve best proposals will be selected to be presented during the Share Fair Assembly.

On the registration form, schools which choose to COMMIT to being presenters at the Share Fair Assembly will be asked to provide a brief description of the TOPIC of their presentation. 

Schools which take on this extra responsibility of preparing a presentation are given the option of registering TWO ADDITIONAL student participants.

Therefore, schools which COMMIT to giving a presentation at the Share Fair Assembly are allowed to register a total of up to SEVEN students on their SLC team.  

Seniors who are registered as one of the school’s team of participants are given the option of committing to serve as “Student Facilitators” who will help lead Small Groups and perform other duties during the Student Leadership Conference. 

If Seniors are registered as Senior Facilitators, they will be required to take on additional responsibilities throughout the day of the conference, and they will also be asked to participate, either in person or “virtually,” in a Facilitator Training Session, which will be held on Saturday, November 9, from 11 am – 3 pm, (lunch provided), in Charlottesville, Virginia.

A personal email address and phone number will need to be provided for any senior who makes the commitment to serve as a Senior Facilitator.

The Deadline for Registering is Friday, October 18, 2019.

Please complete the registration for your school as soon as possible, since we will have to close registration once we reach a total of 400 registered participants.

If necessary, substitutions for specific participants can be made after the school’s registration has been submitted.
