dc.description.abstractThe educational literature in leadership focuses on adult leadership. This study attempts to extend this literature to student leadership by exploring how student leaders in secondary schools experience and understand designated student leadership positions. The participants involved in this study were secondary school student leaders who were preparing to host the annual provincial Student Leadership Conference. The data collection methods involved questionnaires from 10 students and in-depth interviews with 5 students. The data from both sources were analyzed in order to reveal the experiences and understandings held by the student leaders. Three themes were derived from the data: leadership as an organizational process. leadership as a relational process, and values in leadership. These themes were discussed in relation to the literature on leadership and recommendations were given for the focus of leadership programs in secondary schools.
