Meet Greene Early College’s prestigious Student Ambassadors
Greene Early College’s prestigious Student Ambassadors are truly advocates for GEC. They are charged with telling the story of the school and its programs to the public, educators and prospective students.
For students to be considered as Student Ambassadors, they must have a minimum of 3.0 GPA at the beginning of their sophomore year. Then they must submit a formal written application for review by a panel of teachers. Selections are based on students’ academic performance, merit, and willingness to be available for important school functions, both during and after school hours.
With this designation, Student Ambassadors’ responsibilities include facilitating mentoring sessions with incoming Freshmen throughout the school year, conducting school tours, translating (Spanish), presenting to various groups, and attending important school functions where student leadership and opinion are expected (i.e school board visits, open house, recruitment, newspaper interviews, etc.). In essence, they become the “go-to” group for many functions and events. Each ambassador’s performance is evaluated at the end of each school year by Student Ambassador Advisors Natasha Martin, and Heather Davis.
TTherefore, onApril 3, the Ambassadors planned for the Annual Board of Education tour and lunch at GEC. They presented impactful information about GEC academic rigors of both high school classes and college courses and expectations. Also highlighted was the constant efforts of the staff to maintain a positive teaching/learning environment. In addition, the Ambassadors described three clubs available for student participation: Cougar Care Club, HOSA, and SGA. All three are student-driven entities and crucial components to the complete GEC experience.
Thank you, Student Ambassadors, for the awesome representation while showcasing GEC.
