Leadership Experience
Leadership in Athletics was a class that substitutes for my gym class. We talked about different positives and negatives within sports and the trials and tribulations that being a leader can bring. In this class, we discussed creating a mascot for our school because we haven't had one in over 20 years. After three years of research and meetings with various significant figures on the school board, we were finally allowed to adopt the Ossining Lion as our new mascot and name. This was a very long and intricate process as we had to survey the district over the course of multiple years, meet with specific administrators, find evidence to back up our data, and more. This was still in the works this year as we finished creating a design for our new logo. I am proud to be involved in the creation of Ossining High School's new mascot and the beginning of the future in Ossining.
Additional Information - Description
I took the initiative this year to create and run the student section social media account for my high school. The purpose was to raise school spirit and it was extremely successful. As I post about different home games, more fans have been engaging and the school pride is at the highest point its been in my 4 years of high school.
