PeaceLeaders are student mentors who are selected by their classmates to be the PeaceLeaders of the building. Their mission is to improve school climate and help our community. We are so proud of the large number of candidates that delivered outstanding speeches. We encourage those students who were not chosen to run again in the winter. It was a very close election and all the students were deserving.
