Spotlight on Student Leadership 🌟
Hernando High School senior Delanie Ward proudly represented DeSoto County Schools at the DeSoto County Business Women’s Luncheon on September 3, held at the new Northwest Community College Ranger Center.
During the event, Delanie heard an empowering presentation by Jackie Vaz on The Confidence Curve, gaining valuable insight into leadership, assertiveness, and overcoming imposter syndrome.
With plans to pursue a career in business—specifically in accounting—Delanie also took the opportunity to network with local business leaders. This experience was an excellent step forward as she builds the skills and connections needed for success in the business world.
We are proud to see our students actively engaging with our community and preparing for life beyond graduation.
