Blue Aces Student Ambassador Leadership Program

What is a Student Ambassador?

Student Ambassadors are key representatives of East High School, serving as the institution's face and embodying the spirit of leadership, service, and academic excellence. This prestigious program offers students an opportunity to develop essential skills in leadership, communication, and college and career readiness, preparing them to become community leaders beyond high school.

Our Student Ambassadors are selected through a rigorous process that includes nomination by Alpha Counselors based on grades, character, communication skills, and enthusiasm.
