Advocates...Leaders...Philanthropists
The Student Ambassador program cultivates champions for public education who emerge as influential leaders within the district and dedicated philanthropists creating a significant impact. High school students from Edmond Public Schools engage in monthly meetings, gaining insights from district, community, and state leaders. Additionally, they play an active role in various committees and events. These students can be seen speaking at public events, organizing fundraisers, coordinating food drives for the district, volunteering in schools, and advocating on social media, among other impactful activities.

LEADERSHIP

Students will have the chance to explore their unique leadership style, acquire essential leadership skills, and actively apply these skills through committee work, public speaking engagements, interaction with peers from other schools, and community involvement. District and community leaders will join students at monthly meetings as guest speakers to enrich the students' learning experiences about leadership.
