Engagement Director:

Hannah Engel

Hi everyone! My name is Hannah Engel and I am taking this year to "Dream Big." As a rising senior at Ryle High School, I understand the stressors that come with growing up, and I understand how this can cause one to close doors on opportunities. I am using my involvement in KYSCA, in addition to my experience in the Superintendent's student advisory and RHS Student Council to increase student engagement across the state of Kentucky and create new connections among high schools. On a daily basis I am involved in numerous athletic, academic, and student-led extracurricular activities, all of which increase my passion for the need of relationships. Even though this may be my first year as a council member, my past in StuCo and other executive councils and committees will lead the way when it comes to the execution of networking-based projects across the Commonwealth. I am so excited to serve every student in Kentucky, and am ready to witness everything KYSCA can accomplish!

Enrichment Director:

Emma Adelman

I’m Emma Adelman, rising senior at Ryle High School in Northern Kentucky! While I have only been on Student Council for the past year, I have been impacted in a way I could have never foreseen. It has given me friendships and experiences I would’ve never had without it. Over the past year, I have truly seen the influence an effective council can have, not only on their own student body, but on the entire surrounding community. Therefore, as a member of KYSCA Executive Council, I want to promote the organization of Student Council, the community it builds, and the amazing experiences it provides students with! I want to show students the opportunities Student Council gives them and assist councils across Kentucky in collaborating with one another to better themselves and the communities around them.
