A two-course series focused on student leadership and a course with information on communicable skin infections are the newest additions to the National Federation of State High School Associations’ (NFHS) online education platform, the NFHS Learning Center.

All three new offerings are available to users at no cost:

• BECOMING A LEADER: Being an effective leader is one of the most important skills students can learn in high school activities. To help students learn leadership skills, the NFHS has partnered with the Michigan High School Athletic Association to bring you this course in our Student Leadership series.
• LEADING OTHERS: Being an effective leader is one of the most important skills students can learn in high school activities. To help students learn leadership skills, the NFHS has partnered with the Michigan High School Athletic Association to bring you this second course in our Student Leadership series.
• COMMUNICABLE SKIN INFECTIONS: Nothing is more important than the health and safety of students participating in interscholastic athletics. A common issue that occurs during participation is the presence of communicable skin infections. That is why the National Federation of State High School Associations developed the Communicable Skin Infections course. This course has been designed to help coaches, parents, and students know what communicable skin infections are, identify the various types of them, understand ways to evaluate and treat an infection if it occurs, and know how to prevent future occurrences.
