"ATTITUDE: It’s Your Choice” was the theme the Upper Columbia Academy’s student association officers chose for the 2006–07 school year, and it was enthusiastically shared with the new student body on registration day. President Kati Winkle said, "intentional leadership is our goal as we follow Philippians 2:5, 'Let this attitude and purpose be in you.' ”

In this vein, the new program “First Face” was put into action, with the purpose of connecting returning students with new students to show them around campus, make sure they know where their classes are, and answer all those “new student” questions for the first couple of weeks. More than 40 returning students signed up to mentor a new student, a great start for getting those attitudes going in the right direction!
