Student Ambassadors Students who are interested in serving as a Student Ambassador for the 2015-16 school year may pick up an application in the Office of Enrollment Management (Miss Abelein and Mrs. Gallagher). The Student Ambassador program gives students valuable opportunities to grow as leaders, serve the school and community, and gain impressive experience for college and life. Student Ambassadors are expected to be polite, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and dedicated! Student Ambassadors will have the opportunity to influence important events and activities, including: - New Student Orientation
- Back to School Night
- Open House
- Grade School Visits

- Alumni Events
