Lily Cate C. Represents Thaden at Clinton Presidential Leadership Program

Congratulations to Lily Cate (LC) C. ’26, who was selected as one of only 50 high school students across Arkansas to participate in the Clinton Foundation’s Student Presidential Leaders Series (SPLS). The yearlong program engages students in developing leadership skills, exploring civic participation, and learning how to turn their knowledge into action.

Throughout the program, LC connects with peers from across the state, collaborates with community leaders, and completes a capstone project focused on how students engage with outdoor activities and state and national parks. Her work so far has encouraged young people to connect with nature, promote stewardship, and find inspiration beyond the classroom.

We’re proud of LC for representing Thaden with curiosity, initiative, and leadership throughout this statewide program.
