Note from Mrs. Rigby: This program is in its third year! In the past, we have been lucky enough to have three Cab Calloway students selected to become Bank of America Student Leaders, one of which is a current senior, Ashley McNeill. All of my students, who have participated, just raved about the program and the valuable experience and knowledge they gained. If your child is interested in applying, I know Ashley is willing to answer any questions they may have.
