Creekview High School sophomore Callahan Pace is one of only eight high school students from across the state selected to serve on the Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) Youth Advisory Council.

The Youth Advisory Council was established to give Georgia high school students the opportunity to provide meaningful input to school board members through meetings that culminate in recommendations on topics ranging from academic programs to school climate. The application process is open each February to students statewide.

Were so proud of Cal for this honor and know he will represent Creekview and CCSD with excellence and pride, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said. Our school board greatly values student input, and we look forward to hearing what he and his fellow student leaders share with GSBA through their service on the Council.

Through their service, Youth Advisory Council members also enhance their leadership and public speaking skills and improve their school community, with a focus this year on topics including school climate and safety, students social and emotional needs, and college and career opportunities.
