The Student Leadership Advisory (SLA) Committee, chosen by NASSP through an application process, comprises incredibly bright, engaged, and forward-thinking students, advisers, and principals who represent diverse perspectives from across the country. Together, they continually create new ways to promote service and leadership within their peer groups and within schools across the nation.
