Edison High School sophomore Gabriel Spinks has been selected to serve as the 2017 Student Representative to the Minneapolis Board of Education.
Spinks has been involved in Edison's award-winning Junior Achievement program, which offers opportunities for student-led entrepreneurship projects, mentorships within the larger business community and more. He is also an AVID participant and has led Socratic seminars, tutorials and debates for his peers.
Spinks says his goal is to "represent all MPS students by listening, engaging and attempting to make sure all voices are brought to the table." Edison staff describe him as a model student and citizen who regularly forges connections between all students to build community and seeks to elevate others with dignity and respect.
