LHHS Key Club Shines at ICON 2025

Over the 4th of July holiday, 24 dedicated members of the Lake Havasu High School Key Club traveled to Orlando, Florida to participate in Key Club International's ICON 2025 Leadership Conference—an extraordinary, student-led event that brought together over 1,000 young leaders from across the nation and around the globe.

Throughout the week, students engaged in high-impact leadership workshops, built international friendships, and embraced a spirit of service that defines Key Club’s mission. Two LHHS students were hand-selected to join the prestigious Global Leadership Master Class, standing out among hundreds of their peers.

A major highlight of the trip came when James Intec proudly represented LHHS on the international stage, placing 3rd in the global oratorical competition with a powerful speech delivered to a crowd of more than 1,000 attendees. His poise, message, and presence earned well-deserved recognition and made Lake Havasu proud.

And the celebration didn’t stop there—Lake Havasu High School Key Club was officially recognized as a Distinguished Club at the Diamond Level, one of the highest honors a club can receive. This achievement is a reflection of the tireless dedication, teamwork, and community impact these students create year-round.

From educational sessions to unforgettable memories, this ICON experience has further empowered our youth to lead with heart, purpose, and excellence.

Congratulations to our Key Clubbers for representing Lake Havasu with integrity and passion. The future is brighter because of you!
We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of the Lake Havasu High School Key Club, recently featured in Today’s News-Herald for their participation in the 100th Annual Key Club International Convention (ICON 2025) held in Orlando, Florida.

With a record-breaking group of 26 students in attendance—one of the largest delegations from a single school—our Key Clubbers made their mark on the international stage through leadership, service, and competition. From taking home awards in oratorical presentations to earning Global Leadership Master Class Certificates, their impact was undeniable.

Students participated in workshops, committee sessions, and leadership development programs while networking with peers from across the globe. Their involvement not only brought pride to Lake Havasu City but also reflected the mission of Kiwanis: to empower youth, build leadership, and serve the community.

The Lake Havasu High School Key Club continues to grow in strength and numbers, with a deep commitment to volunteerism, civic engagement, and positive youth development. As the high school branch of Kiwanis International, they embody the spirit of service above self—making waves both locally and globally.

We are incredibly proud of these young leaders and their advisors. Their dedication and drive inspire us all to keep investing in the future, one child at a time.

Celebrating Student Achievement: B.U.G. Ice Cream Party at Telesis Preparatory Academy

On a sweet and sunny day in Lake Havasu City, 88 outstanding K–5 students at Telesis Preparatory Academy were honored for their hard work and dedication through the B.U.G. (Bringing Up Grades) program.
This special initiative, proudly supported by the Kiwanis Club of Lake Havasu City, recognizes students who demonstrate improvement in their academic performance—and rewards their efforts in a big way!

To celebrate their achievement, students were treated to an ice cream sundae party, complete with all the toppings and smiles you could imagine. But the celebration didn’t stop there—each student also received a colorful B.U.G. Bag, a fun pinwheel, and an official certificate of achievement to commemorate their accomplishment.

The event was made even more exciting by a special appearance from Stripe, the beloved Telesis mascot, who cheered on students and helped hand out awards with high-fives and hugs. The joy on the children’s faces was contagious and truly reflected the power of positive reinforcement in education.

The B.U.G. Program (Bringing Up Grades) is part of Kiwanis International’s broader mission to support children in their educational journeys and encourage lifelong learning through leadership and service. By focusing on improvement rather than perfection, B.U.G. helps students build self-confidence, goal-setting habits, and a deeper connection to their school and community.

This event is just one example of the amazing collaboration between Telesis Preparatory Academy  and the Kiwanis Club of Lake Havasu City, who together are working to make sure every child knows their hard work is seen, celebrated, and supported.

💙 Congratulations to all of the B.U.G. recipients—you’re an inspiration to us all!
