The Jackson County Student Leadership program works to “elevate student leaders who enhance the function of leadership throughout their local schools by shaping culture and performance.” Interested students go through a rigorous selection process that requires them to identify a student leadership initiative they would like to see implemented in their school or community, provide a teacher recommendation that focuses on communication and leadership skills, describe themselves and their interests, and explain their reasons for wanting to join the student leadership team, and details their current activities and leadership positions. As a part of this team, students have been able to provide input on many challenging decisions in our school system.
