A leader at Redlands Adventist Academy will lead not only through the decisions they make, but also through positive example, showing understanding and respect for others while demonstrating integrity, compassion, and a commitment to improving the communities they are part of.
Students are able to participate in a variety of activities through associations and clubs on campus from a leadership position to being active in a club. We strive to have an environment where each student has a place to belong and let their talents shine.
Students have numerous opportunities to engage in leadership roles, such as participating in ASB or holding positions in class government. For those who excel academically, the National Honor Society offers membership to high-achieving students who meet grade qualifications and then successfully apply for admission. Additionally, students can join a variety of clubs, including the Yearbook Club, which doubles as a credit-earning class, and the Media and Marketing Club. These clubs provide valuable experiences and help students develop skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

They are responsible for organizing worship services for the high school, planning everything from music to finding a speaker to running sound and lights. Because Campus Ministries is student-led, it provides students with opportunities to practice leadership and organizational skills while getting involved. This structure ensures that the spiritual life on campus addresses topics that are meaningful to the student body. Students feel both seen and heard, encouraging them to seek further connection and engage with the community.
