McLees Elementary School opened its doors in August of 2003. In 2009 we began our journey to become a Leadership School using Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". We achieved our goal shortly thereafter. We immediately began working toward becoming a Leader In Me Lighthouse School, and we achieved that goal in 2013. Lighthouse Schools serve as models of leadership and mentors to other schools. It is sort of like getting your blackbelt in Leadership. We hope you will visit our school and see how Learning and Leading go hand in hand.
