MIDDLE-LEVEL REGIONALS 2025
Digging into Leadership | Uncovering the Leader Within
The Middle-Level Regionals Leadership Conference began in 1992. Today, the program annually serves more than 2,000 students and advisers. Middle-Level Regionals are a one-day leadership workshops designed to introduce younger students to the world of student government, excite potential leaders to the possibilities of leadership and energize a group of students for the end of the year. Each year 10-12 host sites around the state open their doors to serve schools. At each host site for Middle-Level Regionals, an average of 180 students from 25 schools attend.
Students who attend a Middle-Level Regional workshop can expect to:
Explore the powerful concept of servant leadership
Exchange ideas with students from other schools
Participate in team-building activities as a school group
Leave the conference loaded with new ideas and energized for action!
Middle-Level Regionals are not only beneficial to students, but adults as well. Adults who attend Middle-Level Regionals will:
