Members of the 2025-2026 Leadership Tomorrow Class comprised of Calloway County and Murray High school junior, and seniors kicked off their Leadership Tomorrow Class at the Calloway County Public Library. Sandy Linn, CCPL Community Relations Coordinator, and library staff members provided tours to the group of the new facility.
Catherine Lanier, The Murray Bank vice-president of Human Resources and Leadership Tomorrow Steering Committee member, and Nathan Carter, a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, led a values-minded approach to the young high school leaders. Shawn Smee, Murray State University Director of Recruitment , talked to students during their lunch provided by Murray State University.
Heidi Shultz, Calloway County Independence Bank president, provided the afternoon program. Students were broken into groups and each group of students were given $25 to participate in the Independence Bank’s Here For Good Program. Students worked collaboratively to share kindness and goodwill throughout the downtown community and contribute donations to charitable community organizations.
Members of this year’s class from Calloway County and Murray High schools:

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

Second Stop- The Moses Basket of Calloway County--- an amazing non-profit provides a free resource to foster and relative placement families, offering clothing, hygiene products, and other necessities to help ease the transition. When a child is placed in foster or relative care, it's often with little to no notice, and families are left scrambling to get the essentials.
A special basket filled with age-appropriate comfort items helps a child feel more secure in their new home and the Moses Basket makes a huge difference in the lives of children and the loving families who welcome them. You can help by donating new or gently used items, or by making a monetary donation. Let's show our support for this vital community resource!
