?CASL reminds individual students that all of our schools have one common purpose of glorifying God and praising Him, helping us to stay focused in our organizations to achieve that one common goal,? said Emma Reed, a junior family studies and Guy D. Newman Honors Academy major from Kennedale.?
The 2018 CASL conference featured speaker Marcus ?Goodie? Goodloe, Ph.D., co-author of Habits: Six Steps to the Art of Influence.

Ultimately, the conference is a learning opportunity and chance to be encouraged for all the students who attend. HPU representatives have taken valuable lessons from the 2018 conference.
