It was a day full of LEADERS at the Tirrell Room on Thursday, February 9, 2023! QPS proudly hosted our annual Fifth Grade Student Council Leadership Summit for 5th grade Student Council leaders across the district. We were also fortunate to have our NQHS and QHS Senior Class Officers, our partners and friends from the Hale Family YMCA, Mayor Tom Koch, and Meghan Giovannoni, Associate Vice President of Student Success & Partnerships at Quincy College join us.

Our student leaders enjoyed breakfast, interactive leadership activities, remarks from community leaders Mayor Koch, Ms. Giovannoni, Maya Egan (NQHS ‘23), and Superintendent Mulvey, and a presentation of leadership awards from their principals. We are so proud of all of our student leaders and the positive impact they have on our schools!
