Welcome to Leadership!

Welcome De Anza Leadership to another great year of serving our community. This is my 3rd year of working with leadership and helping to improve our school and I am excited to bring in one of our strongest classes to date. We are looking to get out more into the area as well as improving the safety and interaction of students on campus.

The philosophy of leadership stems from the idea of becoming part of something bigger than yourself. This means working with others, even those who may be difficult, and completing tasks that once seemed impossible, yet now are attainable. A good leader puts others before themselves and know that true maturity and strength is not demanded, but given. Officers in leadership work to do the "behind the scenes" items that most never see but feel when they are not there. We run the rallies, team up with administration, promote dances, organize clubs and most other events that surround De Anza student life and culture.

This blog will be a documentation that will show the hard work that our students have put in. They will have pictures and include class updates that will be put up on a weekly basis. Feel free to contact the Leadership Teacher at (jhillyer@wccusd.net).

Instructions are:
1. Each class is responsible for a post each week. Sometimes if weeks are busy, classes will be required to post what they did that week. If it is not a busy week, Mr. Hillyer will post questions, ideas or musings that students will have to respond to in Blog Format.
2. Classes must have their posts in by 8am each Monday. Questions and prompts will be posted at least one week in advance.
3. We highly encourage classes to read each others blogs and comment on them.
4. All students are to be included in the blog over the year, whether as the author or as a contributor.
5. We do not tolerate anything that could be construed as harmful, disrespectful behavior on this forum.
6. Have fun and reflect on an unforgettable year!

Mr. Hillyer
