Program Overview

The EQ (Emotional Quotient- the ability to value, understand, and handle emotions) Ambassador program is a select group of students on campus who are peer mentors and leaders who support other students. EQ Ambassadors provide peer mentoring through one-on-one and small group interactions. This resource is vital because it prioritizes students' mental health, ultimately supporting their academic success and engagement in school. When students may not feel comfortable talking to staff or teachers, EQ Ambassadors offer the peer perspective that adults on campus cannot provide.

To facilitate self-advocacy, students can access this support through self-referrals. Please click on the link below or scan the QR Code. You can encourage your student to email Mr. Lopez (miguel-lopez@seshs.org) to sign up and find an Ambassador. Get to know your SES EQ ambassadors below.

Hey. I'm Jesus Retes. I have been at SES since the 7th grade. I love engineering and my favorite club is Robotics and I'm the Robotics Captain! I became an EQ ambassador because I also had an older student mentor me back when I was in middle school, so I feel like it's my turn to help out the students of this school. I hope that I can motivate students to get excited to learn! I am available every Tuesday after school if you ever want to talk.

Jordan N.

Hello! My name is Jordan Neal and I have been at SES for 5 years, and am currently a Senior. My favorite class is Robotics, mainly due to all the activities that we do, that fit right with my interests. In addition, I am also a part of the school's FRC team. I became an EQ ambassador because I am very thankful for all of the opportunities given to me by this school, and wanted a good way to give back. My goal is that for anytime a student wants to talk to me, I am able to make their day even a little better. If you need support in any way, you can come see me after school on Tuesdays.
