Congratulations to two Barrow County School System students for being named to the State School Superintendent's 2025-26 Student Advisory Council. Out of the 1,235 students who applied, only 79 were selected to serve.

  • Damian Alvarado, Grade 11

  • Natalie Griffith, Grade 10
    Apalachee High School

As part of the council, Damian and Natalie will meet with State School Superintendent Richard Woods to share their thoughts on the impact of state policies in the classroom and other education-related issues.

Superintendent Woods shared, “This council is about hearing directly from students – the ones experiencing our schools every day. These outstanding young leaders bring experiences and perspectives from every corner of our state, and their viewpoints and ideas will guide our work, ensuring we stay focused on what matters most: supporting every student’s success. I look forward to learning from them and working together throughout the year.”
