CONWAY — Kennett High School Principal Neal Moylan had a sleepless night on Sunday, Jan. 27. He said he was "so stressed out" about the North Country Leadership Conference he had organized for the next day, "I woke up at 3 a.m. I worried that no one was going to come and that it wouldn’t go well at all.”
As it turns out, the event couldn’t have gone better.
