A strong and successful Catholic high school hinges on the leadership of students and their willingness and ability to be vocal witnesses of their faith.

The purpose of the CHSLI is to develop student leadership skills and to serve the community. High school students between their junior and senior years attend the institute to learn about and develop their leadership skills and perform service for the community.

This session is two full days on June 5-6. The cost is $100 per student, which includes session materials, food, and beverages but does not include overnight accommodations.
