Dear Prospective Student Ambassador,  

I am thrilled to expand our inaugural student ambassador cohort. The student ambassador program is designed to elevate student voices in BPS. Community is a core value in the district's strategic plan, and our students play an important part in our community through listening and active problem-solving.  

Ambassadors have the unique opportunity to serve on staff hiring committees, participate in school improvement planning alongside teaching and administrative leaders, and expand their representation through rotating participation in Birmingham Board of Education meetings. Our current ambassadors have proven instrumental by listening to the needs of students and advocating for the initiation of open student forums for the 2024-2025 academic year.  

Beyond acquiring communication, leadership and networking skills, our student ambassadors make meaningful contributions to their school community. They connect with diverse student leaders, gain insights into district leadership and affect positive change. The learning opportunities that come with this role are exciting and invaluable.  

I invite all students to apply for the 2024-2025 cohort. We are accepting applications from high school students who will continue in the program until they graduate.

Spread the word and encourage other potential candidates. Students have until Tuesday, Oct. 1 to submit applications. Selected participants will be notified at a later date.  

Thank you for considering this exciting opportunity, and I look forward to receiving your application. 

Best Regards, 

Dr. Embekka Roberson 
Superintendent of Schools
