Silas Sheretz, a junior at Liberty High School, has been selected as a BigFuture Ambassador by the College Board for the spring 2026 cohort. The BigFuture Ambassador program is a community of high school students who volunteer to support their peers in planning for life after graduation.

As a BigFuture Ambassador, Silas will promote college and career planning and encourage students to take next steps using BigFuture.org, a free College Board platform that offers tools and guidance for exploring careers, researching colleges and planning for financial aid. More than 5,800 ambassadors nationwide work within their school communities to raise awareness of these topics, inspire classmates to take key steps toward their futures, and share helpful resources through social media, school events and peer networks.

“We are incredibly proud of Silas for earning this esteemed role,” said Eric McCaslin, director of counseling at Liberty High School. “Becoming a BigFuture Ambassador is a national opportunity to demonstrate leadership and a commitment to helping others succeed as they navigate the transition from high school to the next stage of their lives.”

The BigFuture Ambassador program is open to students in grades 9–12 and encourages participants to cultivate leadership, communication and collaboration skills. Students also play a key role in shaping the tools and resources available on BigFuture.org, which are accessed by millions of students nationwide.

“Leadership in high school is about helping others dream big and take action toward those dreams,” said Amy Reitz, senior vice president of BigFuture at College Board. “Programs like BigFuture Ambassadors give students the tools and confidence to plan for college and careers and create a ripple effect of opportunity and inspiration for their peers.”

“I’m honored to represent my school in this program and excited to share BigFuture’s tools with my classmates,” Silas said. “I hope my work makes a difference for others as they plan their next steps after high school.”
