Two Department of Defense Dependents Schools in Germany will be attending leadership conferences this summer.

Katheryn Dickmeyer, who will be a senior at Patch High School in Stuttgart, Germany, next year, left Monday for the People to People’s Future Leaders Summit on Law at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. The conference ends July 9.

Dickmeyer will meet senators, visit the Virginia District Court and will participate in a service project. She is the only DODDS student attending the conference.

She is the daughter of Gary and Claire Dickmeyer. Throughout the 2003-2004 school year, she maintained at 4.0 grade point average and served as junior class president. She is attending the conference on a full scholarship based on her leadership roles and academic performance.

Steven K. Leist, who will be a senior at Kaiserslautern High School next year, will attend the Global Young Leaders Conference July 25-Aug. 5 in Washington, D.C., and New York City.

Leist, son of Ray and Elaine A. Leist, was selected based on his academics and leadership activities. He has been involved in Model United Nations for the past three years and finished his junior year with a 3.76 grade point average.
