We are featuring our new 2024-2025 student ambassadors to congratulate them on their exciting new role! Meet Elijah, a 7th grade emotional support student and new student ambassador!

For Elijah, it is all about determination. When asked why he wanted to be a student ambassador, he said, “I want to make a difference and show whoever doubted me that I'm able to do positive things no matter what.” Being doubted can grow a healthy drive to become their best selves and to do good by their community. 

Elijah is a strong leader because he provides others with encouraging examples and spreads positive vibes and energy. Helping others, giving good advice, and striving to be and to do better are attitudes that are perfect for a student ambassador. 

When asked what would make him a good student ambassador, Elijah referred to his kindness, helpfulness, intelligence, and excellent leadership qualities. From the moment he applied, it was clear that he would always strive to do his best and show others how to have a bright future, even when doubted by others. 

Whenever another doubts your abilities, you can either let it get to you or ignite a determination to prove them wrong. Elijah has chosen the latter and will stop at nothing to keep bettering himself, his peers, and his school.
