Leadership Tomorrow has been a viable program for the past 30 plus years. Today the partnership with Murray State University provides meals to Leadership Tomorrow students at Winslow Cafeteria during each monthly meeting and funds the transportation costs that both CCSD and MISD incur with bus transportation. The group meets once a month for community-based outings including Law/Government, Agriculture, Arts, Community Resources, Health, and Business Industry days. As a culmination event, the group travels to Washington, D.C., and students create a service project, as well as a fund-raising initiative to assist the community, and generate funds for their trip. #murrayschools
