The Crusader Athletic Leadership Council (CALC) is an organization that has been founded to help educate our student athletes on some of the expectations that we have for them as they compete interscholastically in a variety of athletics. We hope that by informing this council of some of our expectations, we will be able to foster an open and healthy relationship amongst our student athletes, the school culture, and the community of Clark.
Not only will this be of great help to all Arthur L. Johnson student athletes and coaches, but it will offer up a vast array of opportunities for the members of the Crusader Athletic Leadership Council, including the ability to place this activity on future college applications.
The organization will meet monthly and will discuss a variety of topics and issues. Future meetings will include guest speakers, coaches and administrators of the Clark School District, a visit to the Children’s Hospital, and more.
The C.A.L.C.’s first meeting was held on Wednesday, October 4, 2017. The C.A.L.C. was lucky enough to have Michael Spence come in as a guest speaker to discuss leadership as it pertains to all student athletes.
The Crusader Athletic Leadership Council would like to thank Michael Spence for coming to Arthur L. Johnson High School to share some of his insightful ideas on leadership as it relates to student athletes.
The C.A.L.C. would like to thank Michael Spence for coming in to share his thoughts on leadership. His vast experience was not only interesting, but useful in our quest to develop better leaders amongst our student athletes.
