Our First County Student Advisory Council meeting
Our first County Student Advisory Council meeting. It’s amazing how articulate and focused our students were while expressing their concerns and possible solutions. We had representatives from Ft. Huachuca, Bisbee, and Buena.
The top two concerns were bullying and how the community perceives their school. Our plans are to develop a survey for students and adults. The results will guide us on how we will move forward.
The University of Arizona Extension, Healthy Communities initiative funded by a grant by the Legacy Foundation will help us with our leadership retreat in the near future.
The Cochise County School Superintendent’s Office believe giving our future leaders a voice will help us continue to grow as a county. Their insights are extremely valuable

IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED YOU SHOULD STRIKE OUT ON NEW PATHS, RATHER THAN TRAVEL THE WORN PATHS OF ACCEPTED SUCCESS
- JOHN D ROCKEFELLER
We are all born with something in our DNA that promotes greatness. Using a comprehensive systems-thinking approach, our educators, parents, and community members can work collaboratively to uncover the niche found in every student. This information is powerful when it correlates with the needs of our society. Education, when applied correctly, will provide economic independence for our students and economic success in our community, cities, states, and nation.
