NCSSM has held an annual spring conference for North Carolina students and their teachers since 1998. The number of schools and students in attendance and other related information are shown in the following table.
 

Many sponsors have brought their students back year after year. At NCSSM we believe the interest in this conference reflects a growing commitment to ethics and servant leadership education by high schools statewide, as well as the value of the activities provided to the attending schools.
 
We have developed a curriculum of which a part is the Ethics and Leadership Conference, which allows our students to provide a useful service to the State while also participating in discussions of ethical and leadership issues that they will face as adults. An effective curriculum that addresses development of both skills and values of future leaders is an important undertaking. We can help students develop leadership skills and high ethical standards for use as they solve problems on a local and global scale in their future professional lives.
 
NCSSM invites other schools to join us in this effort, to share what we are doing in ethics and leadership education. Please contact Steve Warshaw (warshaw@ncssm.edu).
