The HSCA Ambassador program allows current HSCA students an opportunity to provide non-academic support to other HSCA students. Acting as mentors, HSCA Ambassadors will support students while they are in high school, and as they transition to Lake Sumter State College. Ambassadors are critical in building a strong HSCA community, maintaining a viable pipeline of information within the Academy, and excelling academically as a role model to other HSCA students.  Ambassadors are highly motivated and committed students who embrace what it means to be a part of the HSCA and Lake Sumter State College community.

  • Serving as hosts and hostesses at HSCA Summits held on the LSSC campus
