• Membership and Advisory Council Structure
    2020/21 School Year

    Community Partners
    EESA has approximately one hundred community partners, who participate as time permits to provide resources and support to EESA teachers and students. Their participation in specific program activities leverages their subject matter expertise with a minimum commitment of time. Details on how Community Partners can contribute can be found at Community Partner Opportunities

    Advisory Council (AC)
    The AC consists of about twenty-five active members, who provide leadership and interact with EESA Faculty and JMHS Principal in regular Monthly Meetings to advance initiative and develop ideas.
    The AC works with the Community Partners to mobilize enrichment resources as needs are identified by EESA Faculty and Students. AC Members also chair and/or actively participate in sub-Committees.
