Schools on Their Own: Local Power, Student-Led
As Junior Class President and Student Rep on the Local School Council, I stepped into leadership during a turning point. Our school was under national scrutiny for its dress code and punitive discipline—and students were done being silenced. I helped organize sit-ins, led walkouts, and brought our demands to the table. What followed was real change: community organizing, student voice, and ultimately the removal of a principal whose policies harmed us. Schools on Their Own is a testament to youth power, public education, and what happens when students take control of the narrative.
