Summary

Pullman High student ambassadors presented a culture‑building initiative that includes a December culture summit for 50 students, plans for a student‑run podcast and social media outreach, and service projects focused on volunteering and a photo display to boost belonging.

Pullman High School presented its student ambassadors program to the Pullman School District board, highlighting student‑led efforts to strengthen belonging and student voice under a "Because You Matter" theme. Principal Derek Flurry and student leaders described a Dec. 12 culture summit that drew 50 students and included leadership exercises and group planning for school improvements.

Student ambassadors outlined concrete projects they will pursue: a social media presence to make ambassadors visible, a student podcast to share mental‑health resources and event information, and service projects such as clothing and food drives. The group also proposed a visual "Why You Matter" photo display modeled on a display at another high school to promote student connection.

Students who presented said the work aims to make the school a place students want to attend. One student summarized what the program taught them: joining the ambassadors "made me feel welcomed" and helped build confidence to put themselves forward. Board members praised the presentation and encouraged continued student involvement and staff support for the initiatives.
