[12/16/2015]; Reston, VA--The National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) has named Emily Lewis, a student at New Haven High School, as an inaugural member of its newly formed Student Leadership Advisory Committee to support the association’s efforts to build student engagement, service, leadership, and voice.

Emily Lewis is a junior here at New Haven High. She is involved in FBLA, Student Council, Cheerleading, Cross Country, FCA, TV Video, NHS, and is Vice President at Saint Peter's UCC. In the past, she has also been involved in FCCLA and Track. As a part of the committee, she will show leadership, show encouragement, inspire others, and more.

As a member of the Student Leadership Advisory Committee, Emily will support NASSP’s goal of engaging student leaders in legislative advocacy by creating a platform for student voice.  The Committee will implement a national initiative on a topic they determine is important to students and to schools.  Committee members—eight students, three activity advisers, and three principals from across the country—were selected by the NASSP student programs staff and approved by the NASSP Board of Directors for a two-year term that runs through October 2017.

"I'm excited to help encourage student involvement in schools throughout the country. I can't wait until I get to go attend our first in-person meeting in Washington D.C. on Capitol Hill," Emily exclaimed. 
 
The creation of the Committee is just the latest installment of NASSP’s commitment to student leadership.  The association, located just outside Washington, D.C., is the home of the National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society, National Elementary Honor Society, and the National Association of Student Councils.
 
“NASSP is proud of its longstanding commitment to developing student leaders and amplifying student voices,” said NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti.  “We know that with the participation of extraordinary leaders like Emily, NASSP’s efforts will continue to thrive and expand so increasing numbers of students across the country can benefit from opportunities to lead, serve, and advocate.”
