Does your student have ideas, opinions, questions, or a desire to make a difference? The Erie School Board wants to hear from student voices.
The Student Leadership Program is an opportunity for students to share ideas, perspectives, and concerns by serving alongside the Erie School Board. Students will build leadership skills, civic awareness, and experience in public service.
Each high school will select three students, for a total of nine Student Leaders across the district.
Students should apply if they are entering grades 9- 12 in the 2026-27 school year, attend or will attend one of the participating high schools, are in good academic and behavioral standing, and can balance this leadership role with other responsibilities.
Application materials are available under the Announcements section of the district website's homepage at eriesd.org.
Applications must be submitted to the Board Secretary’s Office at boardoffice@eriesd.org by Friday, June 26.
💛Happy Juneteenth!
