Student Ambassadors

The Student Ambassador Program has shown remarkable success in facilitating the integration and support of incoming students. This program cultivates a sense of a welcoming atmosphere among peers, particularly within the second through eighth-grade student population.

This program allows new students to integrate, feel embraced, and thrive. Serving as a student ambassador also provides students with a platform to enhance their leadership and communication abilities, inspiring others to represent their school actively.

The primary aim of the Student Ambassador Program is to ease the transition for all new students, whether they come from military or civilian backgrounds. In essence, the program strives to alleviate the concerns of incoming students and foster connections between military-connected students and newcomers by encouraging the exchange of experiences, strengths, and challenges.
