Each school year, the Shaler Area School Board of Directors invites two high school students to serve as student representatives on the board. The student representatives serve as liaisons between the student body and the school board during the monthly school board meetings. The student representatives provide feedback and input to the school board members as well as bring concerns and ideas from the student body to the school board and administration.
Meet the 2021-2022 Student Representatives:
