On Sunday, ABC30 will air a new Children First program entitled Leading Together. The special will focus on the importance of providing young people with safe spaces for conversation and helping them develop their skills as future leaders.
Among the stories in the special is a feature on University Preparatory High School’s (UPHS) civics education class. In Arturo Figueroa’s class, students can work in teams to develop projects that address community problems. For their work, they can earn the State Seal of Civic Engagement at graduation.

Haydin Priest
Sixth Grade, Shannon Ranch Elementary School
Honoring Haydin’s Kindness and Character
Nominator Adrienne Terry shares, “I first met Haydin Priest when she was 10 years old, and even then, she carried herself with a rare mix of kindness and determination. Now, as a sixth grader at Shannon Ranch Elementary, she has stepped into leadership with confidence and purpose. After two years of watching and learning from the student leaders before her, Haydin entered this year ready to serve and inspire.
She is the kind of student who quietly but consistently makes a positive impact. In the cafeteria, the classroom, the play yard, the front office, and the library, she is quick to offer help and sets an example of responsibility and respect."
