Peer Leaders
What is Peer Leaders?
Peer leaders is a community based leadership group mostly run by students who volunteer a total of 10 hours each semester. We meet once a week (typically 7am Tuesdays) and frequently collaborates with Student Council and acts as role models to support the school community. Every year, we also participate Relay for Life and run fundraisers to raise money for the American Cancer Society throughout the year.

How to Join
Peer Leaders applications are open to freshman in the fall of each year. To apply, prospective members must submit an application including a personal statement, and complete an interview process. Peer Leaders is a selective club, so unfortunately they are unable to offer everyone a position in the club. New members will be informed once all interviews are complete.
The club advisor is Mr. Napolitano. Contact his school email if you have questions or are interested in joining Peer Leaders.
