AHS Student Ambassadors
Student Ambassadors are the face of our school during second semester at Animas High. In addition to their responsibilities at SLCs, POLs and Exhibitions, AHS Student Ambassadors are selected to represent our school at all outreach, service and public information events. Ambassadors are chosen by the AHS faculty and include students who embody Animas High’s commitment to academic, cultural and community excellence.
In 2012 AHS Student Ambassadors will participate in campus centered outreach efforts as well ascommunity based presentations, service opportunities and youth events. Serving as an Animas High Student Ambassador is an honor bestowed to a limited number of students. Students must re-apply each year and faculty select appointment to the program based upon a student’s application and prior performance in semester one of the 2011-12 school year.
