Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
About SAAC
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is a board made up of student-athletes who are committed
to generating a voice for the student-athlete within Mt. Hope High School and the Rhode Island
Interscholastic League. One of the main purposes for SAAC is to make other student-athletes aware
of important issues facing today's high school student-athlete population, and to develop leaders
within the high school. SAAC is dedicated to promoting a positive student-athlete image within the
athletic programs and creating active citizens, life-long learners and socially responsible
leaders.
