This morning, Dr. Bracy and the 2023-2024 Student Leadership group met to discuss everything from career paths, peer interaction, responsible use of social media, student and principal relationships, and more.
Just as the many student leaders who came before them, this cohort, is extremely bright. Many shared career paths that included engineering, psychology, economics, and neuroscience. They also made known their intentions of attending various institutes of higher learning, including Duke University, North Carolina Central University, UNC at Chapel Hill, and our very own Johnston Community College.
