Student Directors

Each year we select several high school students to serve on our chapter board of directors. These students serve as full voting directors and are assigned areas of responsibility according to their interests and aptitudes. They work alongside adult directors in fulfilling their responsibilities.

What our teachers are saying

The seminar was an extremely rewarding experience. The information that was taught and shared helped me further my own knowledge and education, and it also helped me come up with pedagogical material to use in my U.S. government classes.
Tabitha

It was amazing to be invigorated with new ways to engage my students in historical context.
Kevin

The seminar helped renew my energy and drive. I look forward to using the resources I obtained and introducing over 600 students to the lessons provided.
Melaney

I was amazed by the excellent quality of speakers and extremely well-run program. This was one of the strongest professional development seminars I have attended. I cannot wait to bring my newfound knowledge to my students.
