PALS
The 2021-2022 Course Selection process is underway, and one of the course opportunities available to 8th graders is an elective called PALS. PALS stands for “Peer Assistance in Leadership.” It is a class designed to help students use their leadership skills to help and serve and improve our school and community. The PALS do various tasks and activities on campus to be servant leaders. PALS is an elective that you must apply for and be selected in because there are a limited number of spots.
The application process includes: submitting an application, getting recommendations filled out from 2 current teachers, submitting short answer questions, and submitting a video answering interview questions. This process is explained in detail in the Schoology Course that students can join if they’re interested in applying for PALS. The applications, teacher recommendations, and short answers are due on March 12th. All of this is explained in the PALS Applications Schoology Course.
If this sounds like something that you would like to participate in, join the Schoology Course with the code: TG6D-3KMH-GVNS7
If you are applying for PALS, on your Course Selection, you need to choose it as one of your top 3 choices. You can submit your PALS application, then once the selection process is complete the counselors will adjust the schedules accordingly to be sure all selected PALS are in that elective.
