Attend a Unique Event
The unique Gratia Houghton Rinehart National High School Leadership Conference, going on its 12th year, is a one-of-a-kind "crash course" in conservative ideas, specifically designed for those who are new to conservative ideas. The Washington Times called it "one of the largest and longest-running conferences geared toward the advancement of the conservative movement among high-school students."
Briefings and discussions with conservatism’s brightest minds and most respected leaders fill the unique three-day conference, and students enjoy a tour of our nation’s monuments in Washington, DC.
At the conference, you will:
• Learn conservative ideas and effective activism
• Meet and network with like-minded students
• Interact with your conservative heroes
• Receive valuable resource materials
• Improve your critical thinking and debate skills
• Become a young leader in the Conservative Movement
