Student Leadership Johns Creek Celebrates Seniors, New Members

JOHNS CREEK, GA — The 2019 class of Student Leadership Johns Creek (SLJC) held their graduation ceremony and induction of their new class at Northview High School on Thursday, April 11. Mayor Mike Bodker and Fulton County Commissioner Liz Hausmann were guest speakers at the ceremony.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger kicked the evening off by honoring the Secretary of State
Ambassadors representing Student Leadership Johns Creek for winning the competition for the second straight year. Fulton County Area Superintendent Tim Corrigan and City Councilperson Stephanie Endres presented graduation cords and completion certificates to all 46 Student Leadership Johns Creek graduates.

This is a two-year program that involves student leaders from all four Johns Creek High Schools.

Participants in the first-year program learn valuable leadership skills by adopting a community service project and documenting the difference their participation made. In addition, the students attend various program dates and learn about their state and city government. Students in the second-year work more independently, they complete two multi-media projects; one a personal portfolio exploring resume building, which serves them well as they begin the college application process. In addition, the students work with business professionals on mock interviewing skills and proper ways to manage their digital footprint.

The second project is to shadow a business professional in a field they are considering pursuing.
The business leaders in Johns Creek have been extremely receptive to the students being their shadow for a day and have included Marilyn Margolis, CEO at Emory Johns Creek Hospital, Mayor Mike Bodker, Revenue Commissioner Lynne Riley, medical professionals from the area, and marketing experts in many of the area’s top business firms including the Coca-Cola corporation. In addition, the students worked with area seniors on inter-generational mentoring using web devices.
