Mission:

To develop student leadership skills by providing training, programs, and opportunities for students to serve their fellow students, school, and community.

Description of Activities:

Peer Leaders participate in a variety of activities in our school which may include peer tutoring, serving as greeters to new students, conducting school tours, promoting school-wide events, serving as role models, serving as mentors, and assisting teachers and staff. Peer Leaders will attend the Middle School Peer Leader Conference in the fall.

Student Requirements:

Students are recommended by their 7th grade teachers at the end of the 7th grade school year. Applicants need exemplary attendance, behavior, and academic standing with a current "A" or "B" average. Recommended students receive, complete, and submit a Peer Leader Application. Peer Leaders are selected from all applicants by a committee of teachers and staff. Students will be expected to attend all meetings held once or twice a month before school at 8:15 am. Transportation to before school meetings is required.

Cost:

The participation fee for peer leaders is $30.00 and covers a peer leader t-shirt, Fall Peer Leader Conference fee and general activity fees for the school year.

Permission Forms:

Parents must sign a permission form for their student to participate in Peer Leaders. An additional permission form must be signed to attend Peer Leader Conference in the fall.
