Marshall County High School is proud to announce that Kylie Merrick has been selected to become a member of the KHSAA Student Advisory Group as well as attend the 2024 NFHS National Student Leadership Summit!
16 students from across the Bluegrass were chosen and the members are: Kamryn Biliter (Pineville), Adam Weakley (Bethlehem), Haley Carr (Corbin), Caleb Biddle (Pendleton County), Amy Ashby Roma (Francis Parker), Abigail Hamilton (Graves County), Kylie Merrick (Marshall County), Ben Cauley (Bullitt Central) Kaileigh Gibson (Owen County), Colby Young (Owen County), Claire Roberts (Lexington Christian), Madeline Haller (DuPont Manual), Ari Rabin (Francis Parker), Maleya Giddens (Assumption), Ava Carver (Rowan County) and Michael Smith (Scott).
One of the main duties of the group is the planning and execution of its HYPE Student Leadership Conferences. Those chosen are required to attend the NFHS National Student Leadership Summit in July in Indianapolis and then manage the KHSAA HYPE Conferences September 19-20 in Lexington. The National Federation of State High School Associations offers a student leadership initiative – the National Student Leadership Summit (NSLS). The NSLS will focus on relevant and contemporary issues affecting today’s students in education-based athletics and performing arts. Students will sharpen their leadership skills and will realize the privilege and power of their influence in their school, community, and state. The group attending the NSLS will split into groups and work through topical discussions on relevant and contemporary issues. The program is designed to help students hone their leadership abilities and teach them how to effectively influence and lead their peers in a positive manner. We are excited for Kylie to have this experience and bring back what she learns to Marshall County!
