ASB (Period 1) Assignments

The purpose of the leadership class is to train students, through theory and practice, in the various aspects of leadership. Those involved in the Crenshaw High School Leadership program will have tremendous opportunities to influence the life of their school, community, and most importantly, themselves. Leadership is not a responsibility to take lightly. It requires many skills and the development of those skills is the primary focus of the class. Throughout the year students will:

•     Develop personal goals as well as group goals.
•     Develop organizational skills.
•     Develop personal skills necessary to be a successful leader.
•     Develop effectiveness in both small and large groups.
•     Develop communication skills (written and oral).
•     Understand aspects of public relations.
•     Implement time management skills.
•     Understand and apply meeting procedures.

Students will work on the above aspects of leadership by taking active and visible roles in the Santa

Barbara community. These events include:

•     Promoting a positive school climate
•     Supporting all academics, athletics, arts, and activities on campus
•     Enhancing the community and school through service projects
