Kent ISD hosts second annual event to elevate student voices and educational initiatives

Now in its third year, the Listen Learn Lead event is designed to showcase student voices to help further the conversation about challenges districts face in educating students. This year’s event was led by the Student Leadership Community members.  

As they inch closer to graduation, three high school students share their career ambitions and the efforts of educators and school staff to empower them to reach for their dreams.

Their dreams are as diverse as their backgrounds and experiences, but one thing scholars in Kent ISD’s Student Leadership Community have in common is that their educational experiences are helping them reach their goals beyond high school.

Students from several Kent County High Schools shared their thoughts on education and their plans for college and careers during the second annual Listen. Learn. Lead. State of the Student event. It was a chance for students and district leaders to come together to discuss needs, empower young people and amplify their voices.

It’s the 2nd annual Listen Learn Lead-State of the Student event, featuring members of the Student Leadership Community held at GVSU’s Eberhard Center. Students will share their voices and adults will listen. Guests from Kent ISD share the details.
