Thomas isn’t just learning about leadership—he’s putting it into action.
As part of a structured mentoring role, Thomas has built dedicated time into his high school course schedule to travel to the elementary school and work directly with younger students. Elementary teachers sign up in advance to have Thomas come into their classrooms, where he supports hands-on learning through technology and STEM activities.
The equipment used in these lessons was funded through grants, expanding access to high-quality resources and providing students with meaningful, real-world experiences.
Through this work, Thomas is collaborating with teachers and students, learning through service and leadership, and achieving something bigger than himself—writing his own story while helping shape the stories of the next generation.
This mentoring program is part of an initiative led by Dr. Melissa Busbin through the High School CTAE Computer Science and Information Technology Pathways, designed to connect learning across grade levels and build future-ready skills.
A sincere thank you to Northside Elementary School for allowing us to pilot this program and for welcoming innovation and partnership into your classrooms.
This is what Collaborate. Learn. Achieve. looks like. 💙
