Great Leadership Opportunity for 9th-11th Graders!

The Fairfax County School Board is now accepting applications from 9th-11th graders in good academic standing for the Student Leadership Development Program. The program is a great opportunity for students interested in pursuing futures in law, government, or public policy. 

Selected students will work directly with School Board Members and the School Board Clerk’s office to learn the ins and outs of how FCPS is governed. They will also develop and debate their own policy proposals and acquire details about the process for running to be Student Representative on the School Board.

Interested students must submit applications to their principal before September 30, 2024.

The nine magisterial district School Board Members will each select one student from their respective districts, and the three At-Large Members will select one student each from among all applicants. Again, interested students must submit applications to their principal before September 30, 2024.
