student ambassador program
Our Student Board Member program is designed to engage Junior High students and provide the opportunity to participate in real-world challenges, facilitate critical thinking and communication among professionals. As major stakeholders of our mission, the program allows them to make a meaningful impact in our district programs and our schools. They will benefit from the transformational experience, all while representing the needs of their school site.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
All student board members are recommended by the school site principal and/or leadership director. If you are interested in participating in our program, please contact your school site principal.
