The Superintendent's Student Advisory Council is a unique opportunity for high school students throughout Los Angeles County to share feedback, experiences and perspectives on various issues affecting schools and communities with Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools Debra Duardo. Elevating student voice is critical to shaping conversations about education and youth development.
Applications are now open for the FY2025-26 school year! Encourage your students to get involved and help shape the future of schools and communities across the County. Apply now through Aug. 29, 2025!
The 2024-25 Student Advisory Council cohort organized the Student Empowerment Summit. Watch the video above to learn more about what they learned through their involvement with the Student Advisory Council.
The 2023-2024 Superintendent's Student Advisory Council collaborated with renowned Los Angeles cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz to create an animated film focusing on social justice and equity in Los Angeles County schools.
From selecting the theme to crafting the storyboard, overseeing editing, recording voiceovers and even starring in the animation, students took charge of every aspect of this project.
