FCPS Student Involvement

Board of Education: An FCPS junior or senior serves a 1-year term as student representative to the BOE beginning each July. Applications are available from high school principals and Student Government Association advisors each spring. The following link takes you to more information about the Board of Education, from which you may view a profile of and contact information for this year's student representative: http://www.fcps.org/content/boe.cfm

Clubs/Social Activities: Many schools offer clubs and social activities. Check for details in individual school profiles and web sites at http://www.fcps.org/content/schools.cfm.

Peer Mentors/Mediation: Most schools have peer mentor/mediation programs in which school counselors or student-support teachers train students to act as mediators to help classmates resolve conflicts. Some schools also train peer mentors to act as ambassadors in welcoming and helping new students adjust to their school. For more information, please visit your school web site, and talk with your school counselor.

Service Learning: Service learning links academic learning with student service that benefits the community.
