Junior Reps commit to attending several events throughout the year both during and outside of school hours including but not limited to:
AMBASSADORS: We are looking for 20-25 Ambassadors who are a select group of diverse students committed to helping new international students integrate into life at BHS. Ambassadors are involved in activities such as planning events, giving tours, welcoming new students and their families, matching up with individual students, assisting students in ELE classrooms, and helping new students adjust to new surroundings. The roles and responsibilities of the Ambassadors occur on a more irregular basis (e.g. more activities during the first semester), but Ambassadors are still integral to making our school a welcoming place throughout the year. Your willingness to help and your comfort level facing new situations are important criteria for this important responsibility.
We are interested in recruiting a diverse group of students. Your leadership, charisma, and level of responsibility are the most important qualities for consideration. If you think you possess all or most of the qualities listed in this letter, please consider applying to become a Junior Rep or Ambassador. Attached you will find a list of important dates and the application for these jobs. We look forward to reading your application and working with you if you are chosen.
