Positive Learning Environment
This past Monday, a diverse group of Julian student leaders in grades six through eight came together to share thoughts and opinions about student culture at Julian. The students provided suggestions as to what the school's expectations should be of students and how those expectations should be reinforced. The group will meet several times during the school year in order to ensure consistent student voice is present in steering culture at Julian.
