Chris Norwood MUSD School Board President 2026

MUSD has had a long standing advocacy relationship with Congressman Ro Khanna and his Student Civic Leadership Program. This year-long program is designed for high school juniors and seniors living and attending school in California’s 17th Congressional District.

Participants will work in small teams to identify a policy area important to their community. Over the course of the year, they’ll design and propose actionable solutions, gaining firsthand experience with civic engagement and the legislative process. At the end of the year, they will have the option to meet the Congressman, showcase their work, and watch other student presentations at the capstone symposium.
