Superintendents, high school principals and counselors: Applications are currently being accepted for a student representative to the Mississippi State Board of Education (SBE) who will be a junior in high school during school year 2025-2026. Deadline to apply is Jan. 31, 2025.
The SBE is entering the seventh year of the Student Representatives of the Mississippi State Board of Education program. Following an annual extensive application process over the last six years, two students currently serve on the SBE. As denoted in the letter Application Final 12.5.24 from SBE Chair, Glen East, these students have provided an important perspective and their participation in the program has added tremendous value to board discussions and deliberations.
The application packet is available at Application Final 12.5.24 for electronic distribution to students or it can be downloaded from the Mississippi Department of Education website.
