All applications to Peer Leadership will be anonymous. Once your application is reviewed, you will be notified if you have been selected to take part in the interview round, and decisions will be made shortly thereafter.
What events do Peer Leaders organize throughout the year?
Peer Leaders work closely with community organizations, FHS admin, and students, to host a variety of events including but not limited to:
Panther Pride Night
Peer Leaders participate in Panther Pride night for incoming freshmen by giving tours, informations sessions, and speaking with students and their families about activities at FHS.
Light Up A Life
Light up a life is a holiday monetary donation collection, along with purchasing of gifts for the Santa Foundation in Franklin to provide holiday gifts for those less fortunate during the holiday season.
Students enjoy a presentation by Ms. Fanuele at Peace Takes Practice 2020.
Peace Takes Practice
Peace Takes Practice is an annual leadership conference held at Dean college for Peer Leaders and students who are considered leaders among their peers. This conference focuses on promoting peace and well being within the community, and focuses on topics such as substance abuse and being a leader in your community.
*If you are not currently a Peer Leader but you have been selected for Peace Takes Practice in the past, you are highly encouraged to apply, as you already have a basis of leadership experience that will be great for your application!
Red Cross Blood Drives
Peer Leaders hosts two blood drives annually for FHS students, working closely with the American Red Cross to put on this event in the FHS gymnasium. Students and teachers are able to sign up to donate blood during a school day.
Visits to the Middle Schools
Each year Peer Leaders visit local middle schools around the end of the year, to help ease the high school transition and talk to them about leadership and other opportunities at FHS.
The Peer Leaders look forward to reading your applications!
