Westridge Upper School Students Participate in National Civic Leadership Summit

Last week, five Westridge Upper School students attended the Student Civic Leadership Summit (hosted by National Association of Independent Schools and Close Up) in Washington, D.C.—an opportunity for high school students interested in civic action and community engagement to share knowledge and strategies, reflect on their individual and collective responsibilities, and hone leadership skills to make a positive impact.

“Our students distinguished themselves through their thoughtful engagement and their collaborative work on vision statements to tackle poverty in Los Angeles,” said Director of Equity Ian Tatum. “It was impressive to watch them confidently present their well-researched strategies to educators and administrators, demonstrating both their growing leadership capabilities and their deep commitment to civic engagement.”
