STUDENT LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY
Each year, Scottsdale Prep students have the opportunity to participate in one of two distinct leadership councils. Diakonos affords our high school students an opportunity to engage in leadership training and to serve as a liaison to school administration. New this year is our middle school leadership council, called the Archons. This council will engage in service and leadership activities throughout the year, overseen by MS Dean Wade Chapman and Assistant Headmaster Rich Gale.
Students must submit an application for consideration, and informational meetings are ongoing on campus for students to learn more. Please use the below links to access the applications.

Mrs. Gale loves spending time with her family, visiting San Diego and volunteering for her church.

Drop-Off/Pick-Up Reminders
A gentle reminder that all
students who do not drive are to be dropped off at the back of the building. Once the front door is locked prior to the start of the school day students will be asked to walk around on the paved walkway on the side of SPA. Pick-up of students at the end of day is also to be at the back of the building for the safety of SPA students. Thank you!
