Each fall, a small group of juniors and seniors enroll in the Leadership/Peer Mentorship elective course at Skyview. While they complete a wide variety of projects, assignments, and gain personal and professional skills, BOLT is -- without a doubt -- their most important and culminating project.

Throughout the year, this team of young go-getters:

• Develops project management, public speaking, marketing, organization, planning skills

• Mentors small group of incoming freshmen

• Plans school/community improvement campaigns:

  • 1. All facets of the BOLT event

    2. School improvement projects

    3. Service efforts (organize volunteer events, etc.)

    4. Youth Suicide Prevention

    5. Morale-boosting activities that support Skyview High School culture

• Helps build a family culture in class

• WORKS ON THEMSELVES!

While all students come from very diverse backgrounds, and have varying interests and passions, Leadership class has transformed them into a close-knit and supportive "family" of peers. This year's group is especially strong because they have re-built the BOLT tradition disrupted by the pandemic, and have been able to connect as a team despite many challenges.
