Twenty-five juniors from Elkin City, Mount Airy City, and Surry County Schools take part in a year long program designed to prepare them to become community leaders.  Students rank in the top fifteen percent of their class and selection is based on a competitive basis.  Academics, leadership potential, and a willingness to commit to the program are factors in the selection process.
