6th Grade

What to expect

The main focus of 6th grade leadership is developing basic skills to become a self-manager; you must be able to lead yourself before you can lead others! There will also be team-building opportunities, self-reflection, and creative expression integrated throughout everything we do. All of this will be in preparation for you to continue in leadership throughout your time at Olympic Middle School.
