AWSL Fall Conference 2025

Curtis High School | Oct. 25, 2025

10:00am - 3:00pm

Energizing and equipping students and advisors for a successful year!

Our first AWSL Fall Leadership Conference (formerly called the WASC Conference) was hosted in 1980 at Lindbergh High School in Renton. Since then, the AWSL Fall Conference has grown to serve around a thousand students annually from across the state.

Each year the in-person conference is hosted by a different high schools in the state. The conference will feature dynamic keynote speakers, breakouts, and learning opportunities for high school students and adults.

We invite ALL high schools to join us for a dynamic conference that will bring together different school teams for a day of learning, networking, and fun so that each school is inspired to return to their homes and communities to make significant differences in the lives of their schools and communities.
