At the School Board meeting of November 17, 2021, School Board Vice-Chair Dr. Steve Gallon III recognized the inaugural District 1 Student Advisory Council.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools is committed to engaging and empowering its students and supporting their academic development and full potential as future leaders. Through great leadership, we are tasked with creating a safe and open space for students to speak, offer ideas, and express themselves.

Dr. Gallon recognized each student individually as well as their parents, teachers, administrators, and region staff. Dr. Gallon as well as his colleagues commended these students for their leadership, their commitment, and their voices in this work.

“I am deeply honored to celebrate these District 1 Student leaders who represent and lend a voice on behalf of their peers,” said Dr. Gallon. “They continue to be truly invaluable in providing perspectives on our schools.”
