Student Leadership Program
The Magnolia ISD Student Leadership Program is designed for junior and senior level students interested in an in-depth learning experience about government leadership. The program was founded in 2012 by Superintendent Dr. Todd Stephens who had the vision to create a unique learning opportunity for our future leaders. This is a two year program with a capstone service learning project during their senior year.
