Central High School junior, Griffin Bass was selected to serve on the State School Superintendent Advisory Council. After receiving more than 1,550 applications, Superintendent Richard Woods and his committee selected 74 students to participate.
The Student Advisory Council allows students to share their feedback directly with State Superintendent Woods and other state leaders to help shape the future of education in Georgia. Superintendent Woods said, “We want to hear from students about what’s working, what’s not, and what we can do to make our schools better places to learn. Meeting and learning about each council member are highlights of my work. Their feedback, opinions, and perspectives provide insight Georgia Department of Education leadership, staff, and I use to make the best possible policy choices.”
Student Advisory Council members participate in a service project as part of their commitment to the organization. This project allows students to engage with their community, develop leadership skills, and contribute to meaningful causes. The council meets four times throughout the school year to demonstrate commitment to their roles and responsibilities and contribute effectively to the council’s activities.
