The Phantom Ambassadors are an integral part of the transitioning from the middle to high school. See Ms. Davies in room E-10 or Mrs. Cordingley in room E-8 for more information. Phantom Ambassadors are a club that chooses to build on leadership and character values of others through setting a positive example.
