34 high school sophomores from area schools have been selected to participate in Capital Area Student Leadership (CASL). This immersive program encourages students to learn more about their community and their own unique skills and
strengths as leaders. Presented by the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce and underwritten by Northeast Delta Dental, CASL has been in existence for more than 25 years, graduated over 700 young leaders, and is the only regional student leadership program in the state.
