Dear High School Students,
We are excited to open applications for this year’s Student Advisory Forum (SAF). SAF is a group of student representatives who meet on average twice a mont with the HS Principal, the SAF advisor, and teacher volunteers to discuss important issues, policies, and procedures shaping our High School.
Serving on SAF is a meaningful way to:
- Represent your peers and bring forward student perspectives.
- Contribute to decision-making that impacts our community.
- Develop leadership and collaboration skills.
Applications are now open and must be submitted by Monday, September 8 at 4:00 p.m. to the HS Office (through Ms. Sunita). A committee will review all applications, and due to the limited number of spaces, not all applicants may be selected. Students will be informed whether or not they have been successful after the review process.
The application form is attached HERE and includes further details and expectations. Please be sure to complete the form and the required written statement before submitting.
We encourage you to consider applying if you are committed to helping shape our school community in positive and thoughtful ways.
