Wa-Hi student state ambassador

Walla Walla High School student to represent school through state leadership program
Walla Walla High School Junior Christian Moreno was selected to serve on the Washington State Leaders in Education Ambassador Program (LEAP) in Olympia. As a LEAP Ambassador, Moreno will bring issues of interest to the group to discuss. They also help guide the conference and interact with our area’s legislative team in the Capitol building. One issue Moreno wants to bring more attention to is getting more Latino students involved in high school athletics. Moreno participated in the LEAP conference last year. He is president of the Latino Club and an AVID student.

“It is extremely rare that an underclassmen, or any student from Eastern Washington for that matter, get this opportunity,” said Intervention Specialist Melito Ramirez. “This is the first time a junior in high school as been selected to be an ambassador. It’s a very strict selection process as most of the students are in college and live on the west-side of the state.”

Moreno will commit to this program for one year and must satisfy the assigned requirements at his local high school and community.
