High School Leadership Academy

mcHoward’ High Performance Leadership Academy for High School Students is for students in grades 9-12 meeting monthly over a six or nine month period of time to accomplish one goal; grow the leadership of these young students, and show them how to navigate the challenges in their life while finding their unique pathway to success. We accomplish this with relevant, practical content developed for high school students, along with coaching, facilitation, and sharing best practices and accountability- all directly connected to each student’s academic situation and their aspiration to be successful.

While all high school boys & girls are welcome to attend the High Performance Leadership Academy for High School Students, our program was developed to address the achievement gap that exists for African American students in our public school systems across America. mcHoward Business Coaching is attempting to close the achievement gap by showing students how to participate in great leadership.

HPLA HS General Program Flow and Length?

Mission: Use our expertise in coaching, and leadership development to grow African American high school students to reach their full potential in academics, on the field, and in their careers.

The vision is to create high performance leaders who will have the skills to engage and mobilize the world.

At the High Performance Leadership Academy for High School Boys & Girls, we believe that academic success can be achieved through great leadership. While curriculum is important, a student can only succeed when they understand the attitude they need to have and what behaviors can help them succeed in the classroom. Once these young men understand how to manage the noise in their head and how to leverage influence, academic success is easily achieved.

The program as presented here is designed as a six-month or nine-month program. Participants meet monthly. The program can be broken up into a 6-month program. The participants may contact their coach anytime outside of class M-F from 9:00 am to 5:00pm EST

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students. The Founders, Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, wanted to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service. The brothers of Phi Beta Sigma are the Fraternity’s most valuable resource and strength. They are the primary means by which the Phi Beta Sigma objectives will be achieved. In order to accomplish the Fraternity’s objectives, it is essential that systems are instituted that effectively embody “Culture For Service and Service For Humanity” and promote brotherhood, scholarship and service.
