SLP (Student Leadership Program) Recognitions
- Congratulations to Margaret Rodnicki recipient of the senior excellence award.
- Islands High School won the spirit stick!
- Ms. Bragg was honored at the SLP end of year celebration with a moment of silence as well as follow up contribution. Ms. Bragg always stressed the importance of “student Led program.” As a teacher advisor she taught me that a leader is an active and present evolving verb.
Congratulations to the graduating SLP seniors as you continue to lead the way! Nathan Bristol Madison McCurry Nathan O'Dell Gabrielle Riley Margaret Rodnicki Michael Wood
