Students reviewed middle school redesign survey data gathered from students, staff, parents, and other stakeholders. They stepped into the role of advisors, using the feedback to propose solutions and share ideas for improving the middle school experience. Through these ongoing conversations, students are helping shape the future of Kyrene’s middle schools and ensuring their voices are part of the redesign process.
