The Student Titan Ambassador program is a student leadership opportunity for 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade students at Oglethorpe Charter School.  It was established by Nicole Wofford Dillon, an English Language Arts teacher at Oglethorpe, and officially approved by the administrative team.  The organization officially inducted qualified and selected students on January 15, 2020.   Eighteen awesome leaders were the first members of the Titan Ambassador program.
