Each fall, Fairport High School (FHS) students have a rare opportunity to work with government leaders in Washington, D.C. to discuss topics and issues they research as part of a social studies elective course, Senior Leadership Seminar.
The course begins in the summer and requires student groups to begin researching a topic currently facing the nation.
