Each year the Mountain Brook Junior High School Spartan Council sponsors an intensive three-day retreat designed to foster the development of eighth- and ninth-grade students.
This year’s conference was held during the last week of April in Orange Beach. John Hewitt, a facilitator from Nashville, led the event, which focused on fostering a positive self-image, thoughtful decision-making and leadership development.
Seventy-two students were chosen through a lottery in February and divided into teams. Spartan Council members served as team leaders, helping each team create a dance, a parade concept and a military-style cheer to support each team’s theme. Faculty sponsors were Assistant Principal Derek Dearman, Larry McCain, John Phillips and Helen Pruet.
