Leadership in Action

For nearly two decades, Julia Landon has proudly developed a tradition of Student Ambassadors - students recognized by their peers, teachers, and school leadership as positive representatives of the Landon community.

Student Ambassadors demonstrate leadership throughout the school day. They serve as role models for their peers, take pride in their school and education, and strive to do what is right - not for recognition, but because it is the right thing to do.

REPRESENTING LANDON

Student Ambassadors serve as representatives of Julia Landon to prospective students, families, and the greater community. They help families learn about the programs and opportunities available at Landon and share, from a student's perspective, what makes the Landon experience unique.

Ambassadors may also be called upon throughout the year to welcome guests, speak with students and families, assist with school events, and represent Julia Landon in the community.

BECOMING A STUDENT AMBASSADOR
