The Special Education Foundation (SEF) is proud to announce the students selected for the Fred Saigh Leadership Academy Class of 2027 as well as the students participating in the Foundation's inaugural Junior Leaders Pilot Program. These innovative leadership initiatives are designed to empower students served by the Special School District with the skills, confidence, and experiences needed to become self-advocates, leaders, and engaged members of their communities.
Both programs reflect SEF's commitment to expanding meaningful life opportunities and helping students build the tools necessary for future success.
