SLNorth is a program that trains emerging student leaders from Johns Creek, Roswell, and Alpharetta. Pisgah and Providence - Johns Creek.

Student Leadership NORTH is a two-year program for emerging leaders in sophomore and junior classes who are zoned for Centennial, Chattahoochee, Johns Creek, Northview, Alpharetta High Schools, Innovation Academy, Mt. During year one, leadership skills will be developed and then utilized in a mentorship program to younger students. The second year students will focus on the skills learned during year one in two different independent multimedia projects. Our hope is for students to become catalysts for change in their schools and communities. A diverse class of young adults will be introduced to a core curriculum of leadership skills including goal setting, project management, team building, and communication skills. Opportunities will be provided to explore local, county, and state government as well as local non-profit organizations. Students will be able to identify areas of need within the community where they can put their leadership skills and knowledge into practice by planning and implementing community service projects. Graduates will then facilitate leadership training and development at their respective schools, under advisement of the school's faculty sponsor.

What a treat to be invited to the soft opening of STIR at Medley, the newest restaurant in Johns Creek! It’s a fun place, and I can see many more hours enjoying Medley in my future.

While I was there, I thought back to my time on the Johns Creek Planning Commission and the hours I spent poring over the planning documents for this project. As an admitted “tree hugger,” I was on the fence about voting to approve it, but in the end I did.

At STIR, I ran into John Kelley from Toro Development, a proud graduate of Leadership Johns Creek, and he took the time to show me a tree they purposely saved while building the project. It made me so happy! Every time I see that tree, I’ll remember my time on the Planning Commission and the care I put into trying to do the right thing.

Thank you, John Kelly, for saving that tree! 🌳 I can’t wait for Medley to open to everyone next week!

Congratulations to Dr. Katherine Perrotta! 🎉

Dr. P. was recently honored by the Council for the Social Studies (GCSS) with the Gwen Hutcheson Outstanding Educator Award, and by her beloved alma mater, Oneonta, with a Distinguished Alumni Award.

For years, Dr. P. has worked alongside our Student Leadership NORTH students as a true soldier of historical research, helping broaden their minds and deepen their connection to our community. She began with our students studying Macedonia Cemetery, then led “Same Storm, Different Boats,” exploring the effects of COVID on our community. Now she’s guiding them through Season 3 of our podcast series, “History in Our Backyard.” We are so lucky to have her!

Now go thank a favorite teacher who made a difference in your life! 🍎

Meet our Class of 2027 Student Leadership North Rising Leaders! These students are off to a strong start this year. They are busy working on their group projects, and they have also begun their personal branding projects, building professional resumes and LinkedIn profiles that will serve them well into college and beyond. It’s a joy to watch students from schools across North Fulton come together, share ideas, and push one another to grow. This is a wonderful group of young leaders, and we can’t wait to see all that they accomplish this year! https://www.studentleadershipnorth.com/rising-leaders/rising-leaders-class-of-2027

Our Class of 2027 students spent Thursday digging into their Gallup Strengths and learning how to put them to work. Thank you to Richard Pelay for facilitating such a great session! We discovered a lot of Empathy and Achiever strengths among these student leaders. One of our favorite parts of the day was watching students bond with peers from schools they don’t attend. This is how connections are made, and after 14 years we are so proud of what our program continues to do!

Student leaders giving back!

Some of our Student Leadership NORTH Secretary of State Ambassadors attended and volunteered at the Johns Creek Financial Wellness Summit on 9/24! It was a great event with many speakers, including one from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. 🏦

A big shout-out to these student leaders for giving up a day off from school to help with such a worthy cause. We're so proud of you!
