Singleton was with WCS in January 2019. On Thursday, Singleton will be the keynote speaker. His message of the power of relationships and resilience will be delivered to a student audience in the PAC and livestreamed to secondary classrooms, the news release states. Singleton also will lead discussions and answer questions. After, Singleton will host a workshop to engage students, faculty and community around the goals of the WCS Strategic Plan. To close the day, Singleton will meet with athletes to discuss character development and the power of teammates.
Building on Singleton’s presentation, WCS will welcome two more speakers.
