Macon East Academy sophomore Eli Churchwell represented the school at the Alabama Farmers Federation’s annual Youth Leadership Conference, held November 10–11 at the Alabama 4-H Center in Columbiana.

Eli joined nearly 90 ninth- and tenth-grade students from across the state for two days of leadership training, teamwork activities, and personal development sessions designed to strengthen communication and character.

As part of the conference’s service initiative, participants worked together to pack 11,000 hygiene kits for families visiting Children’s of Alabama—an effort reflecting the conference’s focus on service and community impact.

Macon East Academy is proud of Eli’s commitment to leadership and service.
