Some students are born leaders. Some develop into great leaders. Either way, strong student leadership fosters strong yearbook programs.

Recorded on location at the Elite Weekend yearbook workshop in Kansas City this September, host Mike Taylor found for extraordinary young women leading their yearbook staffs.

Addie Von Drehle and Emily Cooper are the EICs at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, Kansas. Kelsey Volk and Molly Elfrink are copy editors at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in nearby Shawnee, Kansas.

These four students sat down with Mike to share their yearbook stories, and discuss how they help their staffs develop their writing skills.

It's a great episode for any scholastic journalism program looking to improve their storytelling.
