This week, Streetsboro High School had the opportunity to host two outstanding assemblies focused on student leadership and the impact our students can have on one another.

A major focus of these assemblies was encouraging students to begin thinking about—and signing up for—leadership opportunities for next school year.

SHS students learned about a variety of ways they can get involved, including mentoring peers, participating in student leadership groups, supporting school initiatives, and serving as role models within our building.

These opportunities are designed to give students a voice while also allowing them to make a meaningful difference in the success of others.
