Middle School Student Leadership In the Middle School, we believe that in order to effectively live up to our community agreements, students must play active roles in leadership. Our leadership structures are designed to bring student voice, spirit and advocacy into decision making for the Middle School. Leadership structures include Pastoral Care Group(PCG) Leaders, House Leaders, Ambassadors, and the Student Leadership Team (SLT). STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM A team that advocates on behalf of the MS student body serving as advisors and providing feedback to the Middle School Leadership Team.
