MENLO-ATHERTON LEADERSHIP

Leadership Mission Statement 2009-2010

The Menlo-Atherton leadership class is a diverse community dedicated to action. We ensure an educated, united, and positive eco-friendly environment where equality walks the halls. We strive to maintain a safe haven with respect and opportunity for all. As leaders of Menlo-Atherton High School, our duty is to continuously improve and support both our local and global communities. United in diversity, we challenge ourselves to enrich the soul of Menlo-Atherton through spirit, service, and support.

We have three Leadership classes each with their own set of objectives and goals. At the beginning of each year the individual classes develop their own mission statements as well as specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic goals. These goals become the specific activities we organize through out the year.

The skills that our leaders are learning are professional skills that will translate into success in any career they choose. Eighty percent of Fortune 500 CEO’s were officers in their high school Student Council/ Leadership Classes.

We as the spirit service leaders, of Menlo-Atherton High School, strive to unify our student body through integration and involvement in service projects and spirit activities.  We dedicate ourselves not only to the betterment of the entire Menlo-Atherton community, but also to the success of each graduating class.
