Commenting on the program, F.A.A. Dean of Students, David Graham said, “It’s a major achievement to be chosen to attend Leadership School and to secure a position on the Wing Diamond is a huge honor. It carries a lot of responsibility within the school.” The Wing Diamond students must lead by example, consistently achieving and maintaining high standards. “It’s a heavy load,” he continued, “and not for everyone, but fantastic preparation for college or a future business career.”
