Petal School District Ambassadors

The Petal Education Foundation and Petal Area Chamber of Commerce sponsor the Petal School District Ambassadors Organization.  We seek exemplary students, who are good citizens, leaders, and committed to promoting the Petal School District.  The Ambassadors are a group of students who engage in on-and off-campus events to promote the school district to visitors, business partners, alumni, students and families both current and prospective as well as participate in service projects that support the district’s mission statement.  They also become knowledgeable of the Foundation’s mission and goals.  These students are practicing to become proficient at communication and committed to their academic success

Ambassadors are juniors, and seniors with a minimum 2.75 GPA.  They also participate in community service and be active in at least one school activity (athletics, arts, clubs, etc.)  The requirements are as follows:  resume, essay, recommendation from a teacher, and a photo.   An interview will follow should the applicant be in the prospective group of ambassadors. The selected members as well as their parent/guardian will be required to sign a contract for a one year commitment.
