Acknowledged by former Texas Governor Ann Richards as "...a program that has shaped and changed the lives of many of our young people...," HTE's leadership programs have quickly become recognized by many of our local, state, and national leaders as a program "...worth its weight in gold!"

Our objective is to actually teach your team to work together to accomplish common goals! To design a plan for success. To motivate their fellow peers and to make the most of their potential both as a student leader and as a young adult.

We have studied some of our history's greatest leader's, motivator's, and coach's teaching philosophies. We have taken the fundamentals of their programs and made them easy for your students to understand.

"I cannot tell you the 180 degree turn my team made this year thanks to the the HTEDance Student Leadership Clinic. Not only did they win Grand Champions at Showtime Texas Championship, they place 3rd at American’s Alamo Bowl Classic (out of 36 teams) and were recognized as the Most Outstanding Team by their peers.

Jeffrey, my Captain and officer line were exceptional this year and I know that I owe that to the transitions made with your help."
