Student leaders stand with Dr. Eric Bracy after their meeting.

The Student Government Association Student Leaders held its first meeting today at the Evander Simpson Simpson Building.

Students from each Johnston County high school met with JCPS Superintendent Dr. Eric C. Bracy and Area Superintendent of High Schools Roderic Brewington.

The group of influential students shared elaborate ideas on education and school improvement, as well as thoughts on school safety and security, technology, AI, and drug abuse. For fun, everyone shared what was currently on their playlists.

These students are undoubtedly on track to do great things, and we are excited to see them flourish in their future endeavors!
