Student Government Speeches

Student Ambassadors

Leading the Way

Montgomery School is a place where children grow up gracefully—a testing ground to explore their capacity for leadership. Our program is intentionally designed to provide a wide range of leadership opportunities for students of all ages. In a gradual, deliberate sequence, students take on increasing responsibility throughout their educational journey. By the time they reach middle school they are prepared to take on roles such Student Government and Student Ambassador, as shown above.
