Dear Prospective Student Ambassador,  

I am thrilled to expand our inaugural Student Ambassador cohort. Our 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.  

Student 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 Student Ambassadors have proven instrumental by listening to the students' needs 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. Ambassadors 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 you to apply for the 2024-2025 Student Ambassador program. We are accepting applications from high school students who will continue in the program until they graduate. You can find the application here.

You can also help by spreading the word and encouraging other potential candidates.  

The application will be available starting September 11, the deadline is October 1. 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
