Student Leadership

The council is made up of 20 student-athletes with a male and female representative from each class and four “at large” members. Applications were submitted last spring and scored by a panel based on answers to five questions.

The council’s focus this year will be on how to improve sportsmanship in schools, ways to acknowledge coaches and players who set good examples, and on improving the Inspiration Award and Student Section contest.

The council will be posting on Instagram (@ghsa.saac) and X (formerly Twitter) (@athleteGhsa). For more information on the SAAC, you can contact Penny Mitchell at penny@ghsa.net or Tanya Anderson at tanyaanderson@ghsa.net.
