Flagler Schools' high school principals introduced the 2024-25 Student School Board members at the board's September business meeting.
Jeh-Hanni Strong will represent Matanzas High School, while Dani Nieves will represent Flagler Palm Coast High School on the board this school year.
After their introductions, they took their places on board dais.
Strong was born in Colombia and immigrated here with her family as a small child, Matanzas Principal Kristin Bozeman said in her introduction. Strong is a member of student government, the debate club, Flagler Youth Orchestra, Key Club, Amigos Club, Leo Club and DECA Club.
She is also a member of the swim team and is the team manager for the boys soccer team. She has been an extended day counselor, swim instructor, summer camp counselor and lifeguard for Flagler Schools, and is highly involved in her church and has started playing violin for her church choir. Strong is an AICE Diploma candidate and is dual-enrolled through Daytona State. She is a three-year participant in Matanzas' Law and Justice program and wants to pursue career in law and eventually politics.
Nieves comes from a military family and has attended 12 different high schools, FPC Principal Bobby Bossardet said. She has a 5.0 GPA, a 1,370 SAT score, over 200 community service hours and over 1,000 working hours. She is also a member of the swim team.
Nieves is anticipating getting her International Baccalaureate degree. Bossardet said Nieves challenged herself to join Junior ROTC and "fostered the importance of stepping into a leadership role, taking pride in representing the diversity of the students we serve."
