Congratulations to Oakley Ward from Brilliant High School who was 1 of only 16 students chosen statewide to participate in the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) Student Leadership Conference.  She is the daughter of Dennis and Lana Ward of Brilliant, and is currently a junior at Brilliant High School.  Oakley was chosen as the female representative from the entire district 7.  Oakley will participate in the two-day leadership conference in Montgomery on April 4-5.  During the conference, students will learn more about the AHSAA, speak with executive director Steve Savarese, have group sessions with leadership clinician Jack Williams, CEO of the IDEALS leadership program, and visit educational venues in Montgomery.
