Four Star Leadership

What do character, common vision, communication and caring have in common? They are all essential characteristics of people who are successful in high school, college and beyond. This unique program, led by 4-star General Tommy Franks draws on the lessons and experiences of his almost 4-decade career in the United States military.

“Four Star Leadership is a world-class summer leadership program that welcomes 70 of the top high school students from around the world to meet face-to-face with national and international leaders. The program offers a once in a lifetime opportunity, confronting students with practical leadership and ethical scenarios and challenging them to address them individually in a persuasive speech and writing competition, and collaboratively in an Ethics Bowl competition.

Students develop skills in team-building, persuasive speaking, persuasive writing, and collective problem solving. This is an extraordinary opportunity for high school students to learn, to enhance their leaderships skills, and to potentially gain scholarships, internships and recommendations. The program is build around the core principles of CHARACTER, COMMON VISION, COMMUNICATION and CARING, which guided General Tommy Franks through a 38-year military career. These principles form a platform of discovery for the next generation of America's leaders.”
