LEAD Conferences
These are miniature National Conferences like the one we hosted by CHS during the summer of 2005. They last three days and are great! Mr. Gordon is part of the national committee that plans and operates them. Any students thinking about running for a state student council office should attend one of these. There are costs involved! The date and location for this year's LEAD conferences are:
*November 10-13, 2011 in Albuquerque, New Mexico (upper class-men)
*February 2-5, 2012 in Washington, DC (upper class-men)
*February 16- February 19, 2012 in Lombard, Illinois (upper/lower class-men)

district conventions/conferences
Collinsville High School is a part of the Kaskaskia District of Student Councils. This district covers a great deal of Southern Illinois. The District Convention will be held at Alton High School in March. Throughout the year, the KDSC offers great leadership workshops. Students will be given more information as these workshops are planned. There are minimal costs involved. CHS also has two district board members this year.
State student council convention
This year's state convention will be held in May at the Hilton Hotel in Springfield. It is always the first Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in May. This is a wonderful experience! Costs are involved to attend. Over 1,200 students from around the state come here and CHS has two state officers this year.
