How Ambassador Status Is Earned

Selection is based on the whole student — not athletic ability alone. We look at academic responsibility, reading participation, attendance, athletic development, sportsmanship, communication, leadership, service and positive public representation.

Academics Responsibility, school effort, homework and academic progress.

Literacy Reading participation and willingness to receive support.

Athletics Skill development, effort, teamwork and coachability.

Leadership Communication, accountability and positive influence.

Community Service and participation in Academy projects.

Representation Representing the Academy positively in public and online.

Sunday Leadership Day

Sunday • 3:30–5:30 PM

The Ambassador role is bigger than basketball. Sunday programming is dedicated to academics, literacy, leadership development, mentoring, community engagement, reflection and youth voice.

Scholar Time Reading, homework and academic support.

Leadership Communication, responsibility and leadership lessons.

Community Service projects and community engagement.
