Suwanee Youth Leaders Program
The award-winning Suwanee Youth Leaders (SYL) program is a ten-month community-based leadership program open to sophomores and juniors who live in the Collins Hill, Peachtree Ridge and North Gwinnett cluster areas. The program meets monthly and centers on civic involvement, leadership skills, and volunteer opportunities, as well as optional field trips. You’ll put your newfound leadership skills into practice by engaging in the community with hands-on community volunteer service opportunities, as well as taking the lead in planning a city event. SYL isn’t just another resume builder! You’ll actually learn those leadership skills and mean it (but yeah, it’ll look good on your college apps too).
 
Applications are open now, but don’t procrastinate – they’re due December 1 (and require an adult recommendation!). To speak with a human IRL, interested students (not parents) should contact Suwanee Assistant City Manager Denise Brinson at Denise@Suwanee.com or 770-904-3385. Click here to learn more and apply!
After School Student Pick-Up
When picking up your students after school, please use the Car Rider Line behind the school. Please do not use the bus lane at the front of the school. We have many after-school events and need to keep the front entrance clear for those coming into our building for after-school events and activities. Thank you for your assistance as we continue to be an important meeting place in the community.
