The Fellows: Strategic Leadership Cohort
A selective cohort of student strategists entrusted with the business operations, civic relations, and high-impact scaling of the TMHS mission.
Members of the Fellows Cohort serve as the operational architects of TMHS. Beyond traditional volunteering, these students take the lead on executive-level projects:
-
drafting and presenting proposals to the City Council
-
negotiating corporate sponsorships with local business partners
-
managing our expansive campus Ambassador network
They are the bridge between our mission and the community, ensuring our large-scale events, like our upcoming Rodeo Run, are executed with professional precision.
