The San Diego Unified high school ASB Presidents attended the 62nd annual Laurels for Leaders Luncheon at San Diego State University's Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union. The Washington-Lincoln Laurels for Leaders luncheon is held in February each year around the time of the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Each ASB President was seated with other ASB Presidents and sponsors from the community, in order to facilitate networking and building connections. School staff, parents and guests were welcome to attend the luncheon and sit in a special section in order to observe their students being honored. Washington-Lincoln Laurels for Leaders was established in 1957 as a way of honoring and recognizing the achievements of ASB presidents of San Diego County high schools. Laurels founder Dr. Frank Lowe, then-president of the San Diego Unified School District, believed that such recognition would encourage a lifelong commitment to service among the student leaders.
