Give Coupeville a voice.
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association is accepting applications through May 31 to fill eight spots on its LEAP (Leadership through Education, Activities, and Personal Development) committee.
To apply you need to be a current high school sophomore, and, if selected, you will serve two years spanning your junior (2021-2022) and senior (2022-2023) years.
The LEAP committee meets 5-6 times per school year, with students also having a chance to be involved in WIAA Executive Board meetings.
Whidbey Island has had one representative since the program began in 2009, with South Whidbey’s Megan Drake part of the class of 2017.
Why apply?
Because selection to the committee will look really, really good on your resume as you apply for college.
Because you can’t let the fancy-dancy Seattle schools have all the spots on a committee which directly impacts 225,000 participants in athletics and activities.
And because you need to give me something to write about, after a Cow Town student breaks the glass ceiling.
Mostly the last one.
So go fill out an online application and submit a short personal statement on video today.
