Leadership
We often say that the best leaders are the ones without a title. Our students grow into strong leaders over time here at the Abbey. Whether students serve as captains of a team, organizers of a new club, tutors, or Prefects, they naturally grow into leadership roles empowered by the characteristics true to our mission of reverence, respect, and responsibility. All of our students are leaders in their own right and we seek to cultivate those skills as they grow in knowledge and grace at Portsmouth Abbey.
While we emphasize that being a leader does not require a title, our students do take on more formal responsibilities including:
- Team Captain
- Club Founder/Organizer
- Red Key Head
- International Student Leader
- Honor or Disciplinary Committee Member
- Peer Tutor
- Altar Server
- House Representative
- Class Representative
- Stage Crew Manager
- Head Boy/Girl
- Prefect
