Meet a 2024-25 Student Delegate: Alexander Johnson of i-Grad Virtual Academy!

Every school year, each CCSD high school selects one Student Delegate to the School Board to represent the student voice. One Delegate is named the Student Advisor and sits with the Board at its meetings. We’ll continue to introduce you to them all this year! #CCSDElevateTheExcellence

Alexander Johnson - i-Grad Virtual Academy

Why did you want to serve as a student delegate to the School Board?

I wanted to serve as a student delegate to serve my school to the best of my ability. I found the position intriguing and saw it as an opportunity to make a change in my school and community that I otherwise would not have. This role allows me to display a student's point of view that might not otherwise be considered during the decision-making process. My goal is to lead my school in an ideal student manner to cultivate the best possible learning environment.

 

What are you learning from the experience?

While working with the Board, I’ve been able to observe rational decision-making and its process of improving the county. I’ve even had the chance to talk to Board members about what students would like to see in the future. Throughout this experience, I’ve seen the passion that Board Members have for the future of the county's students.

 

What do you feel makes a good leader?

In my view, a great leader is diligent and passionate. This, combined with the ability to communicate with the community in an uplifting manner, can cultivate the best environment and influence others to be the same.

 

What do you like most about your school?

The teachers and administrators at i-Grad are some of the most compassionate and thoughtful people in education who I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. i-Grad has managed to make some of the most unique circumstances work out for all its students, which is more than commendable. This passion is embodied in everyone and has created an environment where anyone can enjoy their learning experience.
