The Academies Section

High school ambassadors from across the district recently came together to create lesson plans, presentations, and activities to train our district’s elementary and middle school ambassadors. Building on their own training day with community leaders in April, they developed materials specifically tailored to younger students.

The high school ambassadors formed groups based on their strengths, interests, and the age groups they wanted to mentor. It was incredible to witness their teamwork and leadership in action as they prepared to guide the next generation of student ambassadors.
