Six outstanding Klein ISD fourth and ninth-graders participated in Education in Action’s 2021 Lone Star Leadership Academy camps. 

This talented group of students includes Sienna Batiste from Kleb Intermediate, Ella Reed from Krimmel Intermediate, Elizabeth Brown and Nhi Vo from Schindewolf Intermediate, Ethan Clarke from Ullrich Intermediate, and Hayden McGuire from Klein Cain High. 

A Klein ISD educator nominated these young leaders to participate in the program based on their demonstrated leadership ability, academic success, and involvement in school/community activities. 

The students traveled to major Texas cities depending on their grade, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Galveston, to participate in the camps.

During the week-long, overnight camps, these distinguished students developed leadership skills while learning about the great state of Texas. Participants experienced what they are learning in school first-hand through visits to notable and historically significant Texas sites. 

Venues included places such as the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, Perot Museum, and the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza on the Dallas/Fort Worth program; the offices of participants’ state legislators at the Texas State Capitol, the Supreme Court of Texas, bat watching on the Lone Star Riverboat, and The Alamo on the Austin/San Antonio program; and NASA, a boat tour of Galveston Bay with a marine biologist, the San Jacinto Battleground Monument, and Moody Gardens on the Houston/Galveston program. In addition, professionals at sites visited introduced students to a wide variety of unique careers during each camp.

The Lone Star Leadership Academy experience provides a unique opportunity for outstanding students to learn about Texas leaders and what it means to be from the Lone Star State. Participants discuss what they learn, complete problem solving and decision-making simulations, exercise creativity, and practice presentation skills in Leadership Groups. In addition, participants have fun meeting other outstanding students and making new friends while adding to their resume of academic achievements, developing leadership skills, and bringing home a wealth of information to supplement what they are learning in school.

A comprehensive list of 2021 participants by district is available at
