The 2023 SLA Lottery is Now Closed. The Next round of lotteries for Ridge Leadership and Leadership By Design will open in January of 2024.
You may see the recorded livestream of the lottery below.

We had some technical issues with the first draw. We put enough lottery balls in the basket for the Freshman drawing, but our script had us start with the Senior drawing. We had a brief interruption while we straightened that out. Please start watching at 11:46 if you want to skip past this part.

 Opportunity, Equity & Inclusion

Opportunity  & Access

Provide more opportunities for all students at Fossil Ridge High School to learn about and practice servant leadership, collaboration, and personal growth. 

Equity

The SLA will increase equitable access to incoming Freshman and under-represented student populations to leadership roles within the Fossil Ridge High School community.

Inclusion

Build a learning and leading space for students from different backgrounds and experiences, but all with an interest in
serving their school and community.

PURPOSE

Student Leadership Academy

The Student Leadership Academy at Fossil Ridge High School is designed to provide students with coursework and other educational experiences that will develop and expand their servant leadership skills (i.e. building a stronger school community and working towards the benefit of other students).  Students in this Academy will be required to take an active role both in the high school and the greater Fossil Ridge community.​ These experiences will equip them with the tools to become highly successful in life after high school and in future community involvement.

Students will develop as leaders in the areas of culturally responsible citizenship, equitable practices, collaboration, communication, peer education, goal setting, group processes, as well as business, organizational, and project management skills.  

Building 21st Century Leaders to Positively Impact Our Community

Creativity

Students and sponsors will work together to build an environment of creativity to help solve real world problems and promote new thinking on how to improve the spirit, culture and climate at Fossil Ridge High School. Creativity helps foster analysis, appreciation and understanding of different perspectives, in addition to developing students to better
​deal with uncertainty.

Collaboration

A key component of the Student Leadership Academy is collaboration. Collaboration is vital not only within each specific group, but also across all leadership organizations in the Academy, national programs and community entities. Through this collaboration, teamwork will be established as a core value, along with trust, efficiency and motivation towards a
​common goal.
