In a matter of weeks, many high school and middle level student leadership positions with MASC/MAHS will be up for grabs--the MASC/MAHS Student Board of Delegates. This position, open to current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors in high school AS WELL AS current 6th and 7th graders in junior high or middle level gives you an opportunity to learn new skills, to represent students from the entire state who are in activities JUST LIKE YOU, as well as to push your own boundaries and have an excellent experience! Read below, then learn more on the BOARD OF DELEGATES page (including selection procedures and the online application!)

Just a few of the things that the Board of Delegates participate in include:

Are you a student trying to balance ALL of the following things?
-school and homework
-studying and extra classwork
-student council, honor society, or other student groups
-a sports, music, or drama involvement
-your community and service involvements
-family and personal commitments
-your friendships

It can be baffling!

Recently, I had to turn to a resource that I learned of MANY, MANY years ago at MASC/MAHS workshops as a student. It was neat to see that something like this stood the test of time, and made its way into my life as an adult. It's called the Importance/Urgency Grid. It's a simple task--but one that can put EVERYTHING that you need to balance in perspective!
