It was a great opportunity to get to know our student leaders, hear their ideas, and discuss plans for the 2024-2025 school year. Following the meeting Supt. Jones visited the community room where our scholars were given a special opportunity to visit the Secretary of State station on campus, where they could get FREE State IDs, licenses and registered to vote. Available until 2 pm today. This is an important step in empowering our scholars and helping them prepare for the future. #SWCAPride #StudentLeadership #FutureReady #FCSCommunity"
