Building connections. Inspiring leaders.
Our new Center for Ethical Leadership and the exCEL team behind it launched the first Peer Mentoring Program activity, where team members shared their SJS experiences with new students and created welcoming spaces for open communication and genuine connection.
Through peer-to-peer support, the program strengthens community bonds, fosters acceptance, and encourages active community engagement in the school. It’s about inspiring, building meaningful relationships, and creating lasting bonds among peers.
Meet the exCEL team making it happen:
