Top High School Students Reaffirm Core Conservative Principles:  Set to Meet with Dash, Yoho, Pearce, Goeglein, and More

Young America’s Foundation to Host 19th Gratia Houghton Rinehart Montgomery National High School Leadership Conference from July 6 through July 9

On July 6, top students from across the country will convene for Young America’s Foundation’s National High School Leadership Conference. Increasing interest in the Conservative Movement is inspiring students across the country, including the participants this week, to explore the values embraced by icons such as President Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley Jr.

The conference will be held in Chevy Chase, Maryland, where attendees will engage face-to-face with a line-up of high profile speakers and learn strategies to help them advance conservative ideas at their increasingly biased schools.

Speakers include Stacey Dash, Congressman Ted Yoho, Congressman Steve Pearce, Dr. Walter Williams, Bay Buchanan, Dr. Paul Teller, Dr. Michael Waller, Dr. Burt Folsom, Patrick Coyle, Tim Goeglein, and Ron Robinson.

This marks the 19th year that Young America’s Foundation will hold its popular National High School Leadership Conference.

“Young Americans are clearly hungry for conservative ideas and the resources to promote them,” said Foundation President Ron Robinson. “It’s our honor and our duty to provide them with those ideas and resources through conferences like this one, an effort Young America’s Foundation has led the Conservative Movement in doing for decades.”
